Abstract

116 Ecclesiology Reviews 117 In his afterword, Paul Foster explains that this volume came into being with the idea of asking those who know Bell to contribute their reminiscences. This accounts for the somewhat anecdotal style. The volume is well illustrated; it is marred by an irritating number of typographical errors, most of which are unimportant (I enjoyed the ‘Archbishoo’ of Canterbury! – p. 158) but some misleading (surely the unsuitable Irish friends at Oxford were ‘wild’ rather than ‘mild’? – p. 113). Mason’s piece contains a number of elision points: is a longer version available? If so, where? Moreover, given the era about which they are reminiscing, it would seem that several of the authors (including Mason) must be dead; it would have been useful to have had some indication of this too. More seriously, I regretted the lack of a bibliography bringing together the works cited together with other articles on Bell’s life and work. This would have offered a useful reference tool to complement the essays in this interesting but really rather slight collection.
