LIFE OF DEAN BUCKLAND. 
[CH. IX. 
tiding over some of the strait places in which industrious 
working men are sometimes placed. I well remember 
what a loss to my poor parish the removal of Mrs. Buck- 
land and her family from Westminster at the death of 
the Dean was. It was not only her aid in money, but 
her practical good-sense, her kind sympathy, and her 
influential position, that sustained and supported.” 
In these charitable labours Mrs. Buckland received 
excellent counsel from Dean Hook. “ Be thankful,” he 
wrote, “ for your successes, ignore your failures, and 
always be attempting something new.”
