Dromore, and became curate of Linthwaite, near Huddersfield, where he had
the princely income of £24 a-year—thence he moved in 1840 to the curacy
of High Ryland, near Wakefield. In 1843, at the desire of the Stoddard
and Conolly Committee, he undertook to ascertain the fate of those
officers, and entered Cabul, where again he was in danger of death, but
saved by the friendly power of Persia. He is now rector of the Isle of
Brewers, Somersetshire, but has been recently in London, lecturing and
preaching. Hence his parishioners see but little of him. He is here and
there and everywhere. The Doctor should never have settled, or if he did
settle it should have been in London, where there is something fresh, and
wonderful, and stirring every day.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“Mr. Ritchie’s pen-and-ink sketches of the popular preachers of London
are as life-like as they are brilliant and delightful. The thought of
producing them was a happy one, and has been carried out in the volume
before us with much agreeable animation. The collection of silhouettes
herein presented to our contemplation will be especially acceptable, we
conjecture, to our country cousins, as a guide among the more generally
known of the metropolitan ecclesiastics. It will be perceived at a
glance that the writer has familiarized himself with the subject, before
undertaking its treatment. Chapter after chapter brings the popular
preachers of the Capital before our mind’s eye in a sort of stately
clerical procession.”—_The Sun_.
