Excerpt from Thomas Ruddle of Shebbear: A North Devon Arnold; His Life and Selections From His Letters
Mr. Ruddle, must have given rise to the sug gestion that the writer should undertake so re sponsible a task as that attempted in this volume. It has, however, been a veritable labour of love, though performed amid the distraction of many duties.
Limitations of space have forbidden the inclusion of quotations from Mr. Ruddle's numerous articles which lie scattered through out the pages of various magazines. They have been collected, however, and if any desire for their publication should manifest itself, a second volume will be forthcoming. Such is the freshness and vigour of these articles that, as they are read to-day, they not only rekindle the old fervour and glow of bygone days, but are singularly apposite to present-day needs and thought. The story of the man can never be regarded as complete until the working of his mind upon literary, social, educational, and theological subjects has been unfolded.
