Biographical Note
Charles Kingsley was born at Holne Vicarage, Devonshire, in 1819. He was by temperament enthusiastic, impetuous, and great-hearted. His utterances were notable for their unusual earnestness. “I go at what I am about,†he said, “as if there were nothing else in the world for the time being.†In this way he completely lost himself in the work in hand. His favorite motto was “Be strong!†He had a poetic spirit, and was both vigorous and brilliant. He is known not only for his sermons and addresses, but also for his novels and some verse. He died in 1875.
