D., Dean and Archdeacon of Durham, &C: Being a Further Selection From His Correspondence, Diaries, and Other Papers The Collection was found to be of a very miscellaneous character and exceedingly voluminous, commencing with the earlier period of Dean Granville's connexion with the Diocese of Durham, and ending with a series of letters written in France during the last years of his life. It was obviously impossible to give it in extenso; and in making the selection from it which is given in the following pages, the Editor has endeavoured to confine himself as strictly as possible to such documents as tend to illustrate the state of the Church at that period as regards her doctrine and discipline, and the moral and social habits of the Clergy, leaving out those of a more personal and private nature, unless where they appeared to throw light, more or less directly, upon the social con dition or manners of the time. A biographical sketch of Dean Granville was given in the Introduction to the Remains already published. It may be sufficient here briefly to indicate the additional information respecting him and his times, especially as regards Church matters, which is furnished by the Cor respondence, &c., recently discovered.
