To most readers, the informal method of conducting foreign business, as it is disclosed in these letters, probably comes as something of a shock. All this, of course, was extremely irregular and, in any properly organized State Department, it would have been even reprehensible.
His first visit to the United States was in 1896, during the first year of his incumbency at McGill for the purpose of addressing the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni of New York, and he chose for his theme 'The Relations of the English-speaking Peoples. It was the time of the Venezuela incident when there was imminent danger of misunderstanding between Britain and America.
Saviour's Church on the 26th of November, 1866; the building was consecrated by the Bishop of Manchester, on the 29th of October, 1868; on the 9th of December in that year, the Rev. W. D.
