Excerpt from The Bishops of Winchester: Part I. Birinus to Stigand; Part II. Walkelin to Gardiner
These chapters on the early Bishops of Winchester were contributed to the Diocesan Clzrom'c/e at intervals during the years 1901 and 1902. It was the intention of Dean Stephens to complete the series as he could find time, and he had readily responded to the suggestion of the Editor that the articles should be written in such a form as to admit of their being eventually reproduced in a convenient volume, to meet the want of a short and trustworthy account of the many eminent men who have occupied the See. Only a small part of this design, alas! Has he been permitted to carry out, and we must especially lament the fact that the story breaks off just as he was about to enter upon those times which he had made peculiarly his own. These few pages, however, so far complete a period, that it has been decided to publish them. Those who have read the series in the Diocesan Chronicle will be glad of the opportunity of possessing it in a separate form, while the little volume will be felt generally to have a sad and special interest at this time, the correction of the proof of the concluding chapter, on November 27th, being one of the last things.
