To write these few lines is a task of singular pathos. Here indeed the parts are Inverted. But at least no one can have the knowledge which I have of the self-forgetful generosity Of Dr Lightfoot's work at Cambridge, and of the abiding effect of his episcopal work in Durham. He called me to Cambridge to occupy a place which was his own by right; and having done this he spared no pains to secure for his colleague favourable opportunities for action while he himself withdrew in some sense from the position which he had long virtually occupied. And now when I have been charged to fulfil according to the measure Of my strength the Office which he held here, I find in every parish an inheritance of reverence and affection which he has bequeathed to his successor.
