Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Thomas Arnold, D.D, Vol. 2 of 2: Late Head-Master of Rugby School and Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford
There is little to distinguish the next three years cf Dr. Arnold's life from those which precede. The strong feeling against him, though with some abatement of its vehemence, still continued; the effect of it was perhaps visible in the slight falling off in the numbers of the school in 1837-38, at the time of the very height of its reputation at the Universities; and in his own profession it appeared so generally to prevail, that, on occasion of a proposal to him from the Bishop of Norwich (Stanley), to preach his Consecration sermon at Lambeth, the Archbishop of Canterbury (Howley) thought it his duty to withhold his permission, solely on the ground of the unfavourable reception which he supposed it would meet among the clergy.
