About the book >.>.> IT was a saying of Jowett the late Master of Balliol that more good would be done in the future by writ- ing the lives of men and women who have deserved well of their kind than by set treatises in theology and morals. The present series aims at being a con- tribution to such a service. The lives are those of our own countrymen and countrywomen; but they are by choice not the lives which have been officially canonised and calendared. The orthodox Hagiology is discouraging to ordinary minds. Saints about whom legends of the supernatural have gathered while they excite our admiration rather discountenance our imitation. Such saints become a class apart; to aspire to their society seems presumption. But the lives which whether in this or former generations may be distinctly proposed as examples are fre- quently unrecorded because high services leave no time for courting public notice and the things done in secret though visible in their results baffle the biographer.
