"Although a promoter of Sunday-schools and foreign missions, he did not escape reproach for paying undue regard to the interests of his family. It has been well said that during his tenure of office and that of his immediate successor, the sinecures and pluralities held by the highest clergy were worthy of the medieval period." ‎(The Cathedral Church of Canterbury 2nd edition by Hartley Withers 1897.)‎
