Excerpt from Autobiography of Thomas Church Brownell, Third Bishop of Connecticut For almost always in the story of a man's life it is the earlier years which are more or less legendary and obscure, and so to have the authentic record of those years is a great asset in the understanding of whatever success he may attain. One who reads the Bishop's Autobiography, so perfectly simple and straightforward, will have no difficulty in seeing behind the words the forces which made him what he became. The Autobiography comes down only to his consecration on October 27th, 1819. On this note, which breathes the gentle humility of the man, he ends, With what degree of faithfulness, and with what success, I have fulfilled the duties of the sacred office, it becomes not me to speak. That year 1819 was an eventful one in the history of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. Those who are familiar with the religious history of Connecticut know the autocratic power of the Congregational Standing Order. It held the offices, it made the laws. The Episcopal Church could groan, but that brought small relief. The votes were on the other side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
