Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Archdeacon of Rochester, the Ven. Walter King, and grandson of the Bishop of Rochester, Dr. King, who held that See during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. He was born at Stone, December 29, 1829, and after being privately educated by tutors, he went to Oriel College, Oxford, and took his degree in 1851. After a short period of travel he was ordained in 1854 by Bishop Wilberforce to the Curacy of Wheatley, the village at the foot of the hill leading up to Cuddesdon. That he never lost his love for Wheatley and for the charm of village life the letters in this little volume abundantly testify. It was the same year in which the Theological College at Cuddesdon was founded. Four years later, in 1858, King became Chaplain of that I nstitution, when the Rev. Alfred Pott (afterwards Archdeacon of Berkshire) was Principal, and Henry Parry Liddori was Vice-P rincipal. In 1863, on the death of the Rev. W. H. Swinney (who had succeeded Mr. Pott in 1859), King was made Principal. During his tenure of office, first as Chap lain and then as Principal, the College was from time to tnnei.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
