Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Oxford to Rome, and How It Fared With Some Who Lately Made the Journey: A Companion It was, however, found impossible so to cut out or re-create the portraits of some living characters, as to leave the picture purely an historical ideal; and the book therefore comes before its readers in its present, we are told, unintelligible form. It does not appear that it would be just or desirable to illustrate the following pages with a preface of references indicating beyond a doubt the scene and actors of each event -nor is it needful to correct so minutely the misconceptions which have obtained in some quarters, - as to say that Leeds was not the parish of Eustace's location, (no person acquainted with that town and its code siastical arrangements would suggest that it could be intended, ) or to disclaim any reference to the distinguished occupant of a high prelacy in the English Church, to a nobleman on whom many eyes are turned as a star and a Providence in this land, and to a poet and scholar to whom our homes and hearts are indebted for half the Christian har monies which rejoice them, - as any of the Three of whom it has been ventured in the closing page to predict success, as the Champions of Catho lic faith and customs. These are matters of small importance, of local interest or private impression; now the object of the writer, -the first and the final, - however otherwise the aspect of the story under went change - right or wrong, in wisdom or in sin.
