Excerpt from A Letter to the Right Reverend Father in God, Richard, Lord Bishop of Oxford: On Occasion of No; 90, in the Series Called the Tracts for the Times It may seem strange that, on receipt of a message from your Lordship, I should proceed at once, instead of silently obeying it, to put on paper some remarks of my own on the subject of it; yet, as you kindly permit me to take such a course, with the expectation that I may thereby succeed in ex plaining to yourself and others my own feelings and intentions in the ...

Excerpt from A Letter to the Right Reverend Father in God, Richard, Lord Bishop of Oxford: On Occasion of No; 90, in the Series Called the Tracts for the Times It may seem strange that, on receipt of a message from your Lordship, I should proceed at once, instead of silently obeying it, to put on paper some remarks of my own on the subject of it; yet, as you kindly permit me to take such a course, with the expectation that I may thereby succeed in ex plaining to yourself and others my own feelings and intentions in the occurrence which has given rise to your Lordship's interference, I trust to your Lord ship's indulgence to pardon me any discursiveness in my style of writing, or appearance of familiarity, or prominent introduction of myself, which may be incidental to the attempt. Your Lordship's message is as follows: That your Lordship considers that the Tract No. 90. In the Series called the Tracts for the Times, is objection able, and may tend to disturb the peace and tran quillity of the Church, and that it is your Lord ship's advice that the Tracts for the Times should be discontinued. Your Lordship has, I trust, long known quite enough of my feelings towards any such expression of your Lordship's wishes, to be sure I should atonce obey it, though it were ever so painful to me, or contrary to the course I should have taken if left to myself. And I do most readily and cheerfully obey you in this instance; and at the same time express my great sorrow that any writing of mine should be judged objectionable by your Lordship, and of a disturbing tendency, and my hope that in what I write in future I shall be more successful in approving myself to your Lordship.
