" — Edinburgh Review, Jan. 1886, p. 185. 2 Memoir of BisJiop Blomfield, i. 217. 3 Sydney Smith's Third Letter to Archdeacon Singleton. 1828-184G] CHURCH LEGISLATION 209 15. One advocate appeared for the cathedrals whose powerful and caustic pen perhaps did their cause as much harm as good. As long as English literature is read, and genuine wit and humour valued, Sydney Smith's three letters to Archdeacon Singleton will not be forgotten. In these the proposals of the commissioners, their charact...ers, their proceedings, are sketched with an admirable face- tiousness and epigrammatic point, intermixed with graver anticipations of the mischief likely to arise from their spoliations. Nothing can exceed the skill with which the witty canon satirises bishops, professedly eager to remedy spiritual destitution, and yet reserving to themselves incomes of £15, 000 or £10, 000 a year; and founding new canonries in some cathedrals while they destroy a vast mass in others. Nothing can be more true than the way in which he points out that the lower clergy have had no share in this matter ; that it takes away from them vast advantages, in the way of possible promotion, and provides for the multiplication of a number of miserably paid posts, which will entail perpetual poverty on their holders.
