Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.

(When my fathers work on Cyprian was drawing to a close, M...)
When my fathers work on Cyprian was drawing to a close, M. Larpent, the friend who had been helping him in the final verifications, suggested that he must now embark on a study of Tertu Uian. My father opened a drawer and, shewing M. Larpent a heap of manuscript, said that his first work must be to finish this a book on the Revelation of St John. All his life, perhaps, he had been peculiarly interested in the Revelation. One of our earliest associations as children, with Sunday, is the vision of the pure river of the water of life, clear as crystal, of the new heavens and the new earth, as, week after week, the rhythm of the words in the chapter he had chosen for Sunday morning prayers fell upon the ear. When this book was actually begun I do not know, but for many years he habitually worked at it before breakfast, and on any unoccupied Sunday afternoons. In 1891 he wrote: A scrap of time daily on the Revelation, which can never be interpreted without its proper Methodic, Dramatic and Choric arrangement, and a clear sight of its Voices, Guides and Keys I see it all have it all in my head but my fingers cannot find time to set it in visible order. A certain balance of the artistic and metaphysical quality of mind seems to have fitted him peculiarly for this work. On a due proportion of these qualities the intellectual comprehension of symbolism plainly depends. The mind which naturally expresses itself in symbolism cannot always translate it into terms of thought; Cyprian, his Life, his Times, his Work.

Edward White Benson was born at Lombard Street in Highgate, Birmingham, on 14 July 1829, the son of Birmingham chemical manufacturer Edward White Benson Sr. and his wife Harriet Baker Benson.
He graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1852, and after holding various minor ecclesiastical offices, became chaplain-in-ordinary to Queen Victoria in 1875.
In 1876 he was named first bishop of Truro, in Cornwall, where he began the building of the cathedral for the new see. In 1882 he became archbishop of Canterbury. As primate of all England, he sought to restrain the more extreme followers of the Oxford Movement, although he himself was of the "high church" school, and he took a leading part in establishing a more settled relationship between the various "parties" of the Church of England. Benson was one of those who tried Edward King, bishop of Lincoln, for unauthorized ritualist practices. The famous Lincoln Judgment set the limits of ceremony in the Church of England, though Benson was unwilling to enforce it by legal procedure; after his death on Oct. 11, 1896, its decisions fell into desuetude.
Benson is best remembered for devising the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, an order first used in Truro Cathedral on Christmas Eve, 1880. Considerably revised by Eric Milner White for King's College Cambridge, this service is now used every Christmas around the world. Benson was the founder of the Church of England Purity Society, an organization which later merged with the White Cross Army. Alfred Ryder served as a trustee of the organization.

Benson married his second cousin Mary (Minnie) Sidgwick, the sister of philosopher Henry, when she was 18. The couple had six children.
