Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Wimbledon Common. - Thanks for Sterling papers. Coleridge and followers like Sterling mistakenly assume that practitioners of popular theology have no grasp of its philosophical complexities: Sterling's ideas were more simply expressed by the Wesleyan Methodist Adam Clark[e] nearly 40 years ago. Sterling's style is too taxing, but Milnes' account of his integrity shows Sterling is worthy of the Club in his honour; Stephen would have remained a member if the others had not been so much younger.
