More than a hundred years ago a book . d was written by the Rev Henry John To d , one of the Minor Canons of the Cathe “ dral , entitled Some Account of the Deans of Canterbury . It ended with a fe w lines on Deans Buller and Corn e wall . Since ll 1 8 . Co rn e wa 79 , when Dr was promoted to the Bishopric of Hereford , there have been eight Deans ; and M r . J . Meadows t Cowper , in the presen volume , has written brief biographies of the entire series up to the present date . This record naturally has a special interest for all who are con nected with Canterbury ; but the lives of the Deans u may have a more general interest , beca se they furnish various sidelights on the eccle sia stic al History of England . Not a few of the Deans were prominen t in their day as religious writers , or as vi R EFA CE . P having taken part in questions of n ational interest . No less than thirteen of those whose biographies are here given have been : Archbishops or Bishops and of these some , like the saintly John Tillotson , Archbishop of Canterbury , John Sharp , Archbishop of York , and George Horn e , Bishop of Nor wich , have been men whose works still survive , and whose names will long live in the memory of all who love the Church of England . The present work is rendered more in teres tin g by the fact that the reader is here furnished with a Portrait of every Dean A li . onb with the exception of Dr g y , who was appointed in the troublous days of the Commonwealth , but was never installed , an d probably never visited Canterbury . These portraits are all , except two , photographed from the unique series in the Deanery . In no other Cathedral City , and not even in ’ the Deaneries of Westminster or St . Paul s , is there anything which approaches a com lete p series of such portraits . Many of r these at Canterbu y are by eminent painters . That of Dean Barg rav e is by Cornelius PR EFA CE . v i i . Jansen who painted the beautiful likeness of Milton at the age of n ine . Three of the portraits are by George Romney ; two by Sir Thomas Lawrence ; and on e is said to be by Opie . Others are excellen t works of Art , although the names of the painters are unknown . The writer of these brief sketches has rendered an entirely disinterested service in preparing and publishing them ; and I sincerely hope that a sufficien t number of copies will be sold to prevent him from o incurring a ny serious pecuniary l ss . In any case his work will be preserved , and will be cherished as a slight record of the varying fortunes of Canterbury C a thedral for more than 3 5 0 years . FAR AR F . W . R .
