References

page 121 note 1 Mr Lockhart does not appear to have used the surviving Lambeth correspondence.

page 122 note 1 A small but entertaining example occurs on p. 118, where Lang, in criticizing his predecessor at Portsea for allowing his curates a certain amount of boisterous relaxation on Sunday evenings at supper, which he, a younger vicar, could never permit, calls him ‘an elderly Vicar letting himself go’. The ‘elderly’ vicar in question came to Portsea at the age of thirty-four, and left in full vigour, to take a northern see, at fifty-two. This passage, incidentally, leads Mr Lockhart to charge the ‘elderly’ vicar with fostering ‘muscular Christianity’.
