A Home paper has the following note on the late Bishop Bishop Colenso died Wedresday, June 20. To some of our readers his name will be chiefly known as that of the author of two mathematical manuals, which instructed or vexed their youth. To others his name will be asso ciated with a good deal of crude and exceedingly unoriginal heretical writing. Others, again, will principally think of him in connection with the recent course of affairs in South Africa. Although he was a second Wrangler, and a Smith’s Prizeman, Dr Colenso was not a scientific

' mathematician of the first order, but his works on algebra and arithmetic which yielded him a steady income of LSOO a year, • marked antv era in the history of school books. In his criticism on the “Penta teuch,” which, like “ Essays and Re views,” was condemned ny Convocation, there was nothing that was not perfectly • familiar to the moat superficial student of German theology. The Zulus had a good deal to do with Dr Oolenso’s heterodoxy. They asked him inconvenient questions, which he could not answer. It was apro pos «f this that Lord Beaoonafield, re proaching someone who spoke disparag ingly of the Zulus, said “ What ! they outwit our generals, they defeat our armies, they convert our bishops, and you call them savages. ” Colenso was a gener ous and humane man, and his name will always be held in honor in South Africa. It was in deference to the representation made to him by Colenso that Lord Car narvon reversed the policy which he had been on the eve of carrying out, and which was as mischievous as it was unjust to ward Langalibalele, nor can there be much doubt that if Colenso’s counsel had been acted on there would have been no Zulu War.
