Book excerpt: Excerpt from Random Recollections of Some Noted Bishops, Divines and Worthies of the 'Old Church' of Manchester It is, I think, quite impossible for a stranger, or perhaps for any one, except a Birmingham pupil, to understand the complete devotion and affection which some of us felt towards him. He was, I think, the most truthful man I ever knew. I do not 'believe that he ever knowingly was guilty of the slightest deviation from the simple truth. His marvellous accuracy in scholarship seemed to run through his whole nature. This quality in him perhaps caused him to be very severe in his judgment and treatment of those whom he thought untrustworthy.' And Bishop Westcott: He enabled us to see that scholarship is nothing less than one method of dealing with the whole problem of human existence, in which art and truth and goodness are inextricably combined. Like Arnold, too, he trusted his boys, and was rarely, if ever, deceived. The late Bishop Lightfoot wrote: 'i have sometimes thought that if I were allowed to live one hour only of my past life over again, I would choose a Butler lesson under Lee.' His conversation, ' adds Dean Vaughan, was delightful, full of sparkle, full of salt alike in wit and in a playful mischievousness about stupid and pretentious people.'
