Dr. Percival, the late Bishop of Hereford, died on Tuesday

at the age of eighty-four. He had won fame as the first Head-Master of Clifton, and, after an interval in which he was President of Trinity College, Oxford, as Head-Master of Rugby. For our part, though we did not share all Dr. Percival's views, we admired his sturdy in- dependence of character, and his desire to widen instead of narrowing the bounds of the National Church. The late Bishop's cordial friendship with many Nonconformists set an example which deserves to be more-widely followed.
