Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memoir of the Rev. John Lingard, D. D
In September, 1811, our author retired from Ushaw. In the spring of that year, he had been urged by Bishop Moylan to accept the presidency of the college at Maynooth. But he declined the offer, as, at a later period, he declined a similar offer from Dr. Poynter, in reference to Old Hall: and, adopting a course which was more agreeable to his habits and disposi tion, he withdrew to the secluded mission at Hornby.
