Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Walter Farquhar Hook, Vol. 1 of 2: D.D. F. R. S Foremost amongst these must be placed my uncle, Lord Hatherley, and my wife's aunt, Miss Hook. They not only supplied me with a vast quantity of valuable letters, but their full and exact reminiscences of distant events have been an unfailing source of trustworthy information. Besides the letter embody ing his reminiscences, which Lord H atherley has been good enough to write expressly for this Memoir, I have inserted a few letters addressed by him to his friend between the years 1830 and 1834, not only on ac count of their intrinsic excellence, but as illustrating the variety of subjects on which the two friends cor responded. I must thank the Rector of Whippingham, the Rev. Canon Prothero, for endeavouring to glean some local information relating to the time when Dr. Hook was curate of that parish.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Walter Farquhar Hook The object of this Edition is to bring the work within the reach of many readers who were unable to purchase it in the larger and more expensive shape in which it first appeared two years ago. A few letters have necessarily been omitted, and the narrative, although substantially unaltered, has been in parts condensed. On the other hand, two interesting events, omitted in former editions, have been recorded in the present volume. Of these the first (which is mentioned on p. 528) was Dr. Hook's generous support of the Rev. F. Maurice, on an occasion when Mr. Maurice was subjected, as he thought, to an unjust and narrow-minded attack. The information concerning this incident has been very kindly supplied to me by the Rev. Francis Garden, Subdean of Her Majesty's Chapels Royal. The second incident (recorded on p. 593), for the materials of which I am indebted to Dr. Liddon, Canon of St. Paul's, was the renewal of correspondence between Dr. Hook and Dr. Pusey, after it had been long suspended.
