Relating an anecdote concerning the debate over the Abolition of the [?] Establishment in 1869 in the House of Lords. He gives the words of the Bishop of St. David's when asked if he had risked his health during a speech: "'Yes,' he said, 'perhaps so; but I was more than repaid by walking out upon Westminster Bridge after the Session, seeing London in the morning light as Wordsworth saw it, & repeating to myself his noble sonnet as I walked home.'"
