Excerpt from An Account of the Question Which Has Arisen Between the Bishop and the Church Missionary Society in the Diocese of Colombo: Being a Paper Read Originally Before the Oxford Missionary Association of Graduates, on Friday, October 20th, 1876, and Since Completed One other word of preface may be seemly. I trust it will not be thought that I mean to speak of those Clergy, with whose names I have had to deal, with the smallest bitterness or exultation; may I venture rather to express to them (if it be not too great a liberty) my respect for them; and to commend my account to their friendliness; and hereby to beg them all both Mr. Jones (with whom I greatly rejoice to feel that I may claim acquaintance), and his colleagues, whom I have met, or whom I have not met, -to pardon the bluntness of my apprehension, if there be anything in this paper which may seem to their judgment to be untruly or unkindly said?
