Episcopal Titles.
Episcopal signatures are a puzzle to the uninitiated. English Bishops sign with the old Latin names of their SeeSj for example Oxon is short for the old Latin name -of Oxf ord, Dunelm for Durham etc. A former much beloved and revered Bishop of Waiapu used, to tell many funny stories of the addresses that appeared on his correspondence. "Mrs W. L. Waiapu," "Mi- W. L. Waiapu," etc; On one occasion an able book written by' him .and published- m.- r Eng'land cony tamed a preface written by himself and signed "W. L. Waiapu." An
English Reviewer ßafter , highly commending the book expressed his marked admiration at the mental advancement of the Maori race when such a book could be written by an aborigine. Angus and Robertson's latest catalogue of works m stock m their Sydney Book Store, ■ advertise a book by Bishop Herbert Hensley Henson of Durham, they tell us a splendid preface to the book has been contributed by "Herbert Dunelm."
