Excerpt from Remains of the Late Rev. Arthur West Haddan, B. D: Formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford; And Rector of Barton-on-the-Heath, Warwickshire His published works give the measure of the high qua lities Of intellect which he brought to bear on the not very popular department of letters to which he addressed himself. They indicate scholarship Of no ordinary kind, an acute critical instinct, and an accuracy which amounted to precision. But they who worked with him can, bet. Ter than any others, testify to the profound conscien tiousness and thoroughness of all his work. The oh sourest points in medimval history secured the most careful and exhaustive consideration at his hands. The most exciting events received a dispassionate treatment. When doubt remained as to any motive or fact, the elements for arriving at a fair judgment were most can didly exhibited and arrayed. NO passion, no predis position, no foregone conclusion infiuenced the man. Nor did the interest Of great events induce him to slur over what was less important. A disputed succession in an oh scure see in Scotland or Wales would receive the same care and consideration as the change of a dynasty, or the establishment Of a hierarchy. All events, whatever their importance, were regarded in their reference to that which formed the underlying principle of his exhaustive method, the pre-eminent sanctity of historic truth.
