Excerpt from Addresses and Discourses, Historical and Religious: With a Paper on Bishop Berkeley In discourses like those which follow there must needs be repetitions of events and thoughts which would not occur in a connected history, and which in such a history might well be counted blemishes. Here, however, they appear under new conditions and with varied connections and surroundings; and, at all events, could by no possibility have been avoided. One paper presents an exception to the rule which has shaped this collection, that, namely, on Bishop Berkeley. The life, however, of the mitred saint of Cloyne was so intimately connected with the story of the diocese of Connecticut, in his loving sympathy, wise counsels, and benefactions to the cause of good learning, that a sketch of him can hardly be re garded as out of place among these memorials.

Eben Edwards Beardsley was born on January 8, 1808, in the village of Stepney, town of Monroe, Fairfield County, Connecticut, the son of Elihu and Ruth (Edwards) Beardsley. He was descended from William Beardsley, by occupation a mason, who in April 1635 came to America from London in the ship Planter.
Eben worked on the family farm until he was sixteen years old, attending the village school as he had opportunity. Then for a year he went to the Staples Academy, Weston, Connecticut, and this was followed by a period of teaching in the district school. But the youth's ambition was for an academic education, and to make his final preparation for admission to college he went to the Episcopal Academy in South Norwalk, Connecticut. He then entered Washington (now Trinity) College, Hartford, graduating with distinction in the class of 1832.
After graduation Eben Beardsley took charge for a year of a private classical school in Hartford, and then for the next two years served as tutor in his own college. During this time he was preparing himself for holy orders, and on August 11, 1835, was ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church by Bishop Brownell, and by the same bishop was advanced to the priesthood on October 24, 1836. After his ordination to the diaconate he was placed in charge of St. Peter's Church, Cheshire, Connecticut, where, in addition to his ministerial duties, he undertook the charge of the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut. In April 1848 he was called to the rectorship of the newly organized parish of St. Thomas's Church, New Haven, Connecticut, a position which he retained until his death.
Always deeply interested in the history of the Episcopal Church in this country, and especially in Connecticut, he found time, in the midst of his parochial duties, to gratify his fondness for historical research, and in 1865 published Volume I of The History of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. This was followed by Volume II in 1868. Then came in rapid succession The Life and Correspondence of Samuel Johnson, D. D. (1874); The Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson (1876); The Life and Correspondence of the Right Reverend Samuel Seabury, D. D. (1881). An abridged edition of the last-mentioned work was published in London in 1884, the year which marked the centenary of Seabury's consecration. In the course of his ministry he preached numerous historical sermons on parish anniversaries. These he had collected and prepared for publication, and in 1892 shortly after his death, they appeared in a volume bearing the title, Addresses and Discourses.
For half a century Beardsley was one of the conspicuous leaders of his Church. In the diocese of Connecticut, where he lived all his life and did all his work, every distinction was bestowed upon him. He was sent as a deputy from Connecticut to eight general conventions, and twice was elected president of its House of Deputies, the highest honor conferred upon a presbyter. His interest in educational matters was evidenced by his serving as trustee of the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut, of St. Margaret's School for Girls, and of Trinity College.
Eben Beardsley served as rector of St Thomas Church, New Haven (1848- 1891). Eben Beardsley's major works: The History of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut (vol. I 1865, vol. II 1868); The Life and Correspondence of Samuel Johnson, D. D. (1874); The Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson (1876); The Life and Correspondence of the Right Reverend Samuel Seabury, D. D. (1881); Addresses and Discourses (1892).
