Book Description

Excerpt from Memoir of the Life and Episcopate of George Augustus Selwyn, Vol. 1 of 2: Bishop of New Zealand, 1841-1869; Bishop of Lichfield, 1867-1878 It must not be thought that the labour of these Visitations was confined to the toil of travel by sea and land, and to occasionally coarse and insufficient fare: there was the ever-present strain to fulfil the programme, to be able to add to the engagements which had been assigned to each date with the condition added D.V., the letters d.g., which were al ways inserted when the engagement had been kept. There was also the annoyance of living much in public, often in society that was barely congenial, and the lack of all opportunity, save on board ship, for study and privacy. On this Visitation there is an entry in the journal on Ash Wednesday. Three hours quiet in the chapel between services, which shows how precious and exceptional the privacy was.
