Excerpt from Life and Letters of William John Butler, Late Dean of Lincoln and Sometime Vicar of Wantage: With Portraits
The late Dean of Lincoln was one of those whose lives seem especially to call for some record. That few men, certainly few men as uncompromising, have ever won more affection from their fellows, will be acknowledged by all who were present when he was laid to rest under the shadow of Lincoln Minster, and saw that vast building filled from end to end with mourners and sympathizers, the greater part of them being citizens of a city to which, less than nine years before, he had come as a total stranger. At the same time, few men who have done so much work in their lives have been less known by name to what is called the ''general public. On both accounts therefore, that those who knew and loved him might have some per manent memorial of him, and that the record of a strenuous life in which Englishmen even of widely different schools of thought cannot fail to find a stimulus, might be made known to many who never felt its direct in?uence, it was thought that a memoir of him might without presumption take.
