Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of the Life of George Elwes Corrie, D.D: Master of Jesus College, Cambridge; Rector of Newton in the Isle; Sometime Norrisian Professor in the University of Cambridge, Drawn Principally From His Diary and Correspondence To the Syndics of the University Press, who have generously undertaken the publication of these Memoirs, the author offers her sincere thanks; and in particular to the Chairman, the Reverend Dr Porter, Master of Peter house, and to C. J. Clay, Esq., for counsel and help at all times given with considerate kindness, which claims a grateful recognition. It is not for the writer of a Preface to anticipate the verdict of the reader, either as to the merit of the work itself, or as to the character for the delineation of which such materials as were available have been diligently sought out and put together. But without claiming for the subject of these Memoirs either heroic excellence or immunity from human frailty, it is believed that he merits a place in one of those niches in the Temple of Academic history which were left unfilled by the lamented author of the Lives of Twelve Good Men.'
