Excerpt from Christian Ethics: Eight Lectures Preached Before the University of Oxford in the Year 1895, in the Foundation of the Late Rev. John Bampton; M.A. Canon of Salisbury

The will of the late Reverend John Bampton in respect of one of its provisions, has not, of late years, been fulfilled to the letter. It has rarely happened that the Lecturers have produced their Lectures in printed form within two months after they have been preached.' But though many of my predecessors have postponed publication for a short time beyond that indicated in the Will, I feel that I owe the University a fuller apology for my much greater delay. The reason is that I found myself called upon to undertake the office of Censor of Moral Philosophy shortly after my appointment as Bampton Lecturer, and have in consequence found my time in the vacations largely occupied by College business. Those Who know the conditions of modern Oxford Will understand how greatly the possibility of continuous work depends on free Vacations.
