The Right Rev. Joshua Hughes, D.D., Bishop of St. Asaph, 1870. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. J. Brown. 'The Right Rev. Joshua Hughes, D.D., who has succeeded the Right Rev. Thomas Yowler Short on his resignation of the Bishopric of St. Asaph, is a Welshman, being a native of Pembrokeshire...He is reported to be a very effective preacher, not only in English, but in his native tongue. A good deal has been said lately about English Bishops in Wales, but the fact is that they can address the inhabitants in their own language. The Bishop of Bangor, it is well known, is an accomplished Welsh scholar; so is the Bishop of St. David's; and the Bishop of Llandaff, who was for some years Incumbent of a Welsh parish in Cardiganshire thoroughly understands the language. When, therefore, the Bishop of St. Asaph is duly installed all the Prelates in Wales will be able to speak to the people in Welsh'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.. The Right Rev. Joshua Hughes, D.D., Bishop of St. Asaph, 1870. Creator: Unknown.. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/The Print Collector)
