Excerpt from Death of President Garfield: Meeting of Americans in London at Exeter Hall 24 September, 1881; To Which Is Added by Permission the Address of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury Over a sorrow, which, if nearer to one,was shared by both. English blood, made up of the best drops from the veins of many conquering, organizing, and colonizing races, is a blood to be proud of, and most plainly vindicates its claim to dominion when it recognizes kinship through sympathy with what is simple, steadfast, and religious in character.

Not illustrated.1862 Excerpt: ... SUGGESTIONS OFFERED TO THE THEOLOGICAL STUDENT, UNDER PRESENT DIFFICULTIES. 1846, School house, Eugby, 23rd April, 1846. It is stated in one of the following Discourses, that there is a mixture of truth in every attractive error; and that, therefore, none can successfully meet such'error except those who understand, and are willing to appreciate, the truth which is mixed up with it. If a man would persuade others not to be Romanists, he must know what the truths are on which the strength of Romanism is built: if he would persuade them not to adopt what is commonly, vaguely enough, called Rationalism, he must have some acquaintance (the deeper the better) with the literature and habits of thought prevalent in that country to which the system owes its birth. This seems to be a mere truism. Yet so strange are the prejudices which sway even intelligent and good men, that a very general impression seems to prevail amongst English divines, that the very fact of a writer's showing any acquaintance with the theology of Germany may be taken as an a priori indication of unsoundness. There are of course very few who would have the boldness to confess that they entertain so unreasonable an opinion; but they who act on this opinion are certainly not few, and very serious evil may, before we are aware, be thus done to our Church: for certainly it is not impossible that young and ardent minds may be driven, almost against their will, to look with too much sympathy upon errors with which they find themselves unjustly charged. It is scarcely more than might be expected from this prejudice if some English writers, who draw many good thoughts from the Protestant divines of the Continent, seem not unnaturally to have become unwilling to refer more than is absolutely necessary ...

He was born to the family of Presbyterians at Edinburgh on December 21, 1811.
Although his parents were Presbyterians, he early turned towards the Scottish Episcopal Church, and was confirmed in his first year at Oxford, having entered Balliol College in October 1830 as a Snell exhibitioner from the University of Glasgow. He won an open scholarship, took his degree with a first-class in Uteris humanioribus (1833), and became fellow and tutor of Balliol; he was also ordained deacon (1836) and priest (1838), and served the curacy of Baldon.
In 1841 he drafted the famous protest of the "Four Tutors " against it; but this was his only important contribution to the controversy. On the other hand, although his sympathies were on the whole with the liberal movement in the university, he never took a lead in the matter. In 1842 he became an undistinguished but useful successor to Arnold as headmaster of Rugby; and a serious illness in 1848, the first of many, led him to welcome the comparative leisure which followed upon his appointment to the deanery of Carlisle in 1849. His life there, however, was one of no little activity; he served on the University Commission, he restored his cathedral, and did much excellent pastoral work. There too he suffered the great sorrow of his life. He had married Catharine Spooner at Rugby in 1843; in the spring of 1856, within five weeks, five of their children were carried off by virulent scarlet fever. Not long afterwards he was consecrated bishop of London on the 22nd of November 1856, as successor to C. J. Blomfield. His translation to Canterbury in 1868 (he had refused the archbishopric of York in 1862) constituted a recognition of his work, but made no break in it. His last years were interrupted by illness and saddened by the death in 1878 of his only son Craufurd, and of his wife. If Blomfield had almost remodelled the idea of a bishop's work, his successor surpassed him. Tait had all Blomfield's earnestness and his powers of work, with far wider interests. Blomfield had given himself zealously to the work of church- building; Tait followed in his steps by inaugurating (1863) the Bishop of London's Fund. He devoted a very large part of his time at London in actual evangelistic work; and to the end his interest in the pastoral side of the work of the clergy was greater than anything else. With his wife, he was instrumental in organizing women's work upon a sound basis, and he did not a little for the healthful regulation of Anglican sisterhoods during the formative period in which this was particularly necessary. Nor was he less successful in the larger matters of administration and organization, which brought into play his sound practical judgment and strong, common-sense. He was constant in his attendance in parliament, and spared no pains in pressing on measures of practical utility. The modification of the terms of clerical subscription (1865), the new lectionary (1871), the Burials Act (1880) were largely owing to him; for all of them, and especially the last, he incurred much obloquy at the time. The Royal Commissions on Ritual (1867) and on the Ecclesiastical Courts (1881) were due to him, and he took a large part in the deliberations of both. Probably his successor (see Benson, E. W. ) was brought into closer relations with the colonial churches than Tait was; but the healthy development of the Lambeth Conferences on the lines of mutual counsel rather than of a hasty quasi-synodic action was largely due to him.
Archbishop Tait died on the first day of Advent in 1882 at Addington, London.
