Excerpt from John Mason Neale D.D: A Memoir The following memoir of Dr. Neale cannot claim to be a comprehensive record Of his life; but it is a memorial of an unconventional and striking personality which left its mark upon a prosaic period; whilst it is also a chronicle of spiritual and practical undertakings that, within the limits of the English Church, might well be regarded as original in conception and tentative in character.
