Dr. Kynaston, and by the Master and Wardens of the Mercers' Company...When the Prince entered he was loudly cheered by the boys and men; the ladies, too, rose in token of welcome. He was conducted to a magnificent chair of state...The proceedings opened with the recital of an English version of an ode in commemoration of the founder, written by Dr. Kynaston...[After the prize-giving, the] Prince asked a holiday for the boys, but was told that, by the ancient laws of the school, this boon could only be granted at the request of the reigning Sovereign, or of some one of the Bishops; whereupon the seven right reverend prelates in company, by the mouthpiece of the Archbishop of York, claimed each his day, and so obtained for the school a vacation of an entire week'.

The Right Rev. Dr. Charles Thomas Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by Mayall, of Regent-street.

[In 1829]...he was elected by the trustees to the headmastership of Harrow School...In 1836 the see of Ripon was founded, and Dr. Longley was appointed the first Bishop. On the resignation of Dr. Maltby in 1856, Dr. Longley was translated to the bishopric of Durham; and on the death of Dr. Musgrave, in 1860, to the archbishopric of York. Dr. Longley was most active in the discharge of his episcopal functions as Bishop of Durham, and exerted himself nobly in raising a pecuniary fund for the benefit of the sufferers by the calamitous accident in the Burradon Colliery in 1860; while his zeal and energy in his recent sphere of spiritual duty resulted in the establishment of the York Diocesan Church Building and Endowment Aid Society, in furtherance of which, mainly through his unwearied efforts, many thousands of pounds have been subscribed'.

The late Dr. John Bird Sumner, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'Shortly after his ordination, he was appointed to an assistant-mastership at Eton...The duties of a master at Eton did not exclusively occupy his attention; he was a writer also...In 1816 he won the second prize...for a treatise on "The Evidences." He published this essay in 1817, under the title of "A Treatise on the Records of the Creation and on Moral Attributes of the Creator." The "Evidences of Christianity, Derived from its Nature and Reception," and "Sermons on the Christian Faith and Character," also productions of his pen, went to increase his reputation as an author. He was made, in 1820, a Canon of Durham; he was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1828, and translated to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury in 1848...His Grace, during his long public career, rarely spoke in the House of Lords on subjects not relating to the Church. Soon after his elevation to the see of Chester he voted for Catholic emancipation. Latterly he strongly opposed the admission of Jews into Parliament; and in the Divorce Bill strenuously objected to the proposed clause allowing the marriage of the offending parties'.
