The Right Rev. E. Harold Browne, D.D., the new Bishop of Winchester, 1873. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Mason. 'The Right Rev, Edward Harold Browne, D.D., who is now translated from the Bishopric of Ely to that of Winchester, succeeding the late Bishop Wilberforce, is known to be a sound theological scholar...Having held for some years the office of Vice-Principal and Professor of Hebrew at St. David's College, Lampeter, in South Wales, he was appointed, in 1854, to the Norrisian Professorship of Divinity at Cambridge, which he held until his elevation, in 1864, at the instance of the then Premier, Lord Palmerston, to the Bishopric of Ely, his diocese including Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Huntingdonshire, with parts of Suffolk. In 1840 the Bishop married Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Clement Carlyon, and grand-daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Carlyon, of Tregrehan, Cornwall. The diocese of Winchester includes parts of Surrey and the whole of Hampshire, with the Isle of Wight, Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, and Sark. Its income is fixed, we believe, at £7700 a year'.
