Excerpt from Leaders of the Church, 1800-1900: John Keble T seems expedient that the origin and scope of this new Series Of Biographies should be brie y explained. Messrs. A. R. Mowbray and co. Had formed the opinion that Ecclesiastical Biography is apt to lose in attractiveness and interest, by reason of the technical and professional spirit in which it is generally handled. Acting on this Opinion, they resolved to publish some short Lives Of Leaders of the Modern Church, written exclusively by laymen.
