D: Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Eastern Diocese This word may be defined; that part of a book, which is always written last; though, if read at all, it is usually read first. In olden times, it used to make no inconsiderable portion of the work, to which it belonged; and was sometimes no contemptible volume by itself. In attempting, however, a preface to the present work, the writer finds that he has little to add for the edification of his reader. All that he had to say has been already said. The best essay on the character and life of Bishop Griswold will be found in his own recorded words and actions. These have been given with as much justice to the Bishop himself and with as little offence to others, as was possible. The memoir will be found valuable, chiefly as a record of character, and of the dealings of God's grace and providence; though it is hoped that, as a small contribution to our ecclesiastical history, the book will be found not altogether valueless. Whatever its value, in this respect, may be, however, there need be little hesitation in saying, that the character of the holy man, whose life is now sent forth, and the dealings of God in the formation of that character, deserve to be had in remembrance: they cannot too deeply, too widely, or too enduringly impress themselves on the living Church of Christ.
