I am now a very feeble, infirm, old man, toiling in the last quarter of my 88th year. I ought to be thankful that my mind, though feeble, remains entire: my memory is often defective, but I have been enabled, though with great labour to myself, and with many interruptions, to dictate a preface to a catalogue published by the university of the older fossils of our collection. They have kindly printed and given to me some extra copies of my preface, one of which I will forward to you by the book-post. I know it can have no interest to you, excepting, perhaps, a few paragraphs in the conclusion of only two or three pages.--I remain, my dear Mr. Malcolm, very faithfully and gratefully yours, A. SEDGWICK. I have printed already more than one letter from the Rev. D.T.K. Drummond, from admiration of their intrinsic merit, and because I wish here to collect proofs that no diversity of Church rites or Church policy could separate our Dean from brethren whom he regarded perhaps as erroneous, but recognised as teaching and leading by the same principles of freedom, which he himself revered and followed. Rev. D.T.K. DRUMMOND to DEAN RAMSAY. Montpelier, Saturday. My dear Friend--Very many thanks for your most touching note, and for the extract from your book you so kindly sent me. The more I look into it the more I like it, and thank God for the testimony you so unequivocally and fearlessly hear to the _unity_ of the True Church of Christ of any age, however much the great army he made up of various sections, of diverse uniforms, and with special duties to perform..... Again thanking you very warmly, and earnestly praying for all the precious consolations of the Great Head of the Church to be largely vouchsafed to you, believe me to be always most affectionately yours, D. T. K. DRUMMOND. * * * * * The subject of the following letter cannot be overlooked by a biographer of Dean Ramsay:-- Rev. Dr. CANDLISH to DEAN RAMSAY. 52 Melville Street, 18th March 1872. My dear Dean Ramsay--I have just read with most profound thankfulness and admiration your noble Christian letter in this day's _Scotsman_. I cannot deny myself the gratification of expressing my feelings to you in this feeble acknowledgment. You have done a signal service to the cause of our Blessed Lord and common Master. I am too infirm to write more fully all that is in my heart. You will pardon all defects, and believe me, yours very truly, ROB. S. CANDLISH. The letter referred to by the distinguished divine arose out of what is known in the Scottish Episcopal Church as the _cause celèbre_ of the Bishop of Glasgow against the Bishop of Argyll.
