Excerpt from The Life of Froude
Although he had been rather extravagant and something of a dandy, he was able to say that he could account for every Sixpence he spent after the age of twenty-one. On leaving Oxford he settled down to the life of a country parson with con scientious thoroughness, and was reputed the best magistrate in the South Hams. Farming his own glebe, as he did, with skill and knowledge, perpetually occupied, as he was, with clerical or secular business, he found the Church of England, not then disturbed by any wave of enthusiasm, at once necessary and sufficient to his religious sense. His horror of Noncon formists was such that he would not have a copy of The Pilgrim's Progress in his house. He up held the Bishop and all established institutions.
