The arrangements made in consequence of the Bishop of London's

translation to Canterbury are not so satisfactory. The Bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Jackson, a man of considerable admin- istrative power, and the highest character for Christian work, but not notable as a theologian, and much more timid and narrow than Dr. Tait, is to succeed him in London ; and Archdeacon 1Yordswerth, a volumiuous writer of, a rather high and exces- sively dry school of theology,—of that school which does not always discriminate between the field of the antiquarian and the field of the theologian,—is to be the new Bishop of Lincoln. Perhaps his best claim is that he is the nephew of a great poet, though without a trace of poetry in himself.
