The Dean of Wells is trying to raise by subscriptions

from all Churchmen a sum of £1,500 to put up a memorial window to Bishop Ken, once Bishop of the See, and n. man whose memory is still reverenced as that of a saintly poet and patriot. Bishop Ken has special claims on the reverence, not only of the diocese, but of all English Churchmen, and we wish that such attempts to identify the Cathedrals with history were a little more frequent. That side of the action of tbe Episcopate, often a most creditable side, has been too much neglected, to the injury not only of the order,—which wants all the historic charm it can obtain,—but of the Cathedrals.
