Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Edward White Benson, Sometime Archbishop of Canterbury, Vol. 2 of 2 From this time his life was not eventful in the ordinary sense, but there were questions of great importance like the Ritual Question, the Lincoln Case, and the Question of the Papal Claims, which extended over a series of years; new interests Springing up, new actions and organisations in which the Church was taking part. Some of these need for clearer treatment chapters by themselves at the same time these matters are in themselves so complicated and of so recent interest that a complete historical handling of them is out of the question in such a personal biography as the present Memoir; I shall therefore only attempt to indicate the Archbishop's attitude to these questions, and leave them to be treated by the historian of the future in a more competent manner. We are too near them at present to see these controversies in right proportion, and many documents very material to these grave subjects cannot at the present time, for personal reasons, see the light. For the rest, I propose to give a rough outline of his official life, with such extracts from the Diary as are illustrative of personal life and character or touch on matters of public interest; arranging the special episodes so that the critical points shall fit in as nearly as possible with their historical sequence.
