The Right Rev. Dr. Bickersteth, the New Bishop of Ripon - from a photograph by Sharpe... 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Right Rev. Dr. Bickersteth, the New Bishop of Ripon - from a photograph by Sharpe and Melville, 1857. Dr. Bickersteth is a man of striking figure, commanding manners, and energetic delivery; his style of preaching is very impressive; and his appointment to the episcopal bench will, doubtless, give peculiar satisfaction to his diocese, and to the country at large...[He] has published some volumes of sermons of a practical character, and several smaller works - one especially on the habitations of the London poor, which has stimulated many persons to the erection of the model lodging-houses so beneficial to the working classes of the metropolis'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
