Oxford, where he graduated in 1848, obtaining a first-class in chapters, the See also:book does not afford an adequate See also:idea of his See also:place as a writer of See also:history. What that is cannot be determined without taking into See also:account the prefaces to some of the volumes which he edited for the Rolls See also:series. Several of them contain monographs on parts, or the whole, of the author's See also:work, written with remarkable See also:literary skill. In these his See also:language is vigorous and dignified; he states the results of his labour and thought with freshness and lucidity; tells numberless stories in a most delightful manner, and exhibits a wonderful See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.

talent for the See also:representation of See also:personal See also:character; the many portraits of historic persons of all orders which he draws in these prefaces are as brilliant in See also:execution as they are exact and convincing. Among the most notable examples of his work for the Rolls series are the prefaces to See also:Roger of Hoveden, the Gesta regum of William of See also:Malmesbury, the Gesta Henrici II., and the Memorials of St. See also:Dunstan.

Stubbs was a High Churchman whose doctrines and practice were grounded on learning and a veneration for antiquity. His opinions were received with marked respect by his See also:brother prelates, and he acted as an See also:assessor to the See also:archbishop in the trial of the bishop of See also:Lincoln. His tastes were those of a student, and he did not disguise his dislike of public functions and the See also:constant little journeys which take up so much of a bishop's time. Nevertheless he fulfilled all his episcopal duties with See also:diligence; and threw all his See also:heart into the performance of those of a specially spiritual nature, such as his addresses at confirmations and to those on whom he conferred orders. As a ruler of the Church he showed See also:wisdom and courage, and disregarded any effort to See also:influence his policy by clamour. In character he was modest, See also:kind and sympathetic, ever ready to help and encourage serious students, generous in his See also:judgment of the See also:works of others-, a most cheery See also:companion, full of wit and See also:humour. His wit was often used as a weapon of See also:defence, for he did not suffer See also:fools gladly. An attack of illness in See also:November 1900 seriously impaired his See also:health. He was able, however, to attend the funeral of See also:Queen See also:Victoria on the and of See also:February 1901, and preached a remarkable See also:sermon before the See also:- KING
