About this book

The Soul of a Bishop is a book by H. G. Wells. The contents list names chapters titled The Dream, The Wear and Tear of Episcopacy, Insomnia and The Sympathy of Lady Sunderbund, among others. The first chapter, The Dream, opens on a scene of bitter disputation in which a hawk-nosed young man with a pointing finger is prominent.

The text says a busy continuous process turns boys into bishops, and will stand few jars or discords. The text says Bishop How of Wakefield composed hymns before he was eleven. The text says the bishop was interrupted by Lady Ella, who came with a letter in her hand to ask whether she might send five-and-twenty pounds to a poor cousin of his, a teacher in a girls' school.
