About this work

Description

Bishop of Truro 1883-1891. "In April 1891, after a mental collapse, he announced his resignation; he was perennially subject to depression caused by over-scrupulosity and an acute sense of sin, which existed in tension with personal vanity. ... on 9 February 1893 elected to succeed Charles Wordsworth as bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld, and Dunblane ... He ministered to Gladstone during the latter's terminal illness in 1898."--Oxford dictionary of national biography. Portrayed carrying a furled umbrella
