Your loving father, R. RlPON. With the home life at Ripon is naturally con- nected the memory of much happy intercourse with friends and neighbours, and the citizens of the little borough, for which my father had a real affection. He was always ready to take part in local matters : the grammar school, the local charities, schemes for im- provement of the city, had always a claim on his interested attention ; and he took it as a special com- pliment to himself when one of his sons who had entere...d the corporation achieved the dignity of mayor. With the cathedral clergy and with six successive deans, he maintained most cordial relations. It was a source of real happiness to my father when Lord Beaconsfield gave the deanery of Ripon to the venerable Hugh McNeile. My father had stood beside him in Liverpool, and on the platform of Exeter Hall, and used to tell us of his extra- ordinary power as an orator, and his influence as a champion of Evangelical truth. Dean McNeile was already in failing health when he came to Ripon, but there were times when the old fire of his eloquence broke out, and his dramatic power held spell-bound the cathedral congregation.
