Buy this book on-line DIXON, W. Hepworth ( to Bishop COLENSO) : A 3pp. Autograph Letter to Bishop Colenso, on Athenaeum Letterhead, Signed and Dated Feb.24 1863
3pp (on a folded letter sheet, the verso of the first page being blank). An interesting letter concerning the possibility suggested by David Gill, that some private correspondence between himself and Bishop Colenso be published in the Athenaeum, of which Dixon was the editor. Dixon writes to the Bishop confirming permission to publish, and at the same time suggesting that it would make more sense if Colenso were to introduce the correspondence to give the publication thereof greater weight in the light of the controversy then raging. Colenso's biblical criticism and his high- minded views about the treatment of African natives created a frenzy of alarm and opposition from the High Church party in South Africa and in England. As controversy raged in England, the South African bishops headed by Bishop Gray pronounced Colenso's deposition in December 1863.
