llowing among other works: _Life of the late James Stephen_ by his son, Sir George Stephen, Victoria, 1875 (this little book, written when the author's memory was failing, is full of singular mistakes, a fact which I mention that I may not be supposed to have overlooked the statements in question but which it is needless to prove in detail); _Jottings from Memory_ (two interesting little pamphlets privately printed by Sir Alfred Stephen in 1889 and 1891); and Wilberforce's _Life and Letters_ (containing letters and incidental references). In Colquhoun's _Wilberforce, his Friends and his Times_ (1886), pp. 180-198, is an account of Stephen's relations to Wilberforce, chiefly founded upon this. See also Roberts' _Hannah More_ (several letters); Brougham's _Speeches_ (1838), i. pp. 402-414 (an interesting account partly quoted in Sir J. Stephen's _Clapham Sect_, in _Essays in Ecclesiastical Biography_); Henry Adam's _History of the United States_ (1891), iii. pp. 50-52 and elsewhere; Walpole's _Life of Perceval_.] [Footnote 18: He served also in 1842 upon a Commission of Inquiry into the forgery of Exchequer bills.] [Footnote 19: Serjeant Stephen's wife and a daughter died before him. He left two surviving children: Sarah, a lady of remarkable ability, author of a popular religious story called _Anna; or, the Daughter at Home_, and a chief founder of the 'Metropolitan Association for Befriending Young Servants,' who died unmarried, aged 79, on January 5, 1895; and James, who edited some of his father's books, was judge of the County Court at Lincoln, and died in November 1894. A short notice of the serjeant is in the _Law Times_ of December 24, 1894.] [Footnote 20: _Life of James Stephen_, p. 36.] [Footnote 21: By his wife, a Miss Ravenscroft, he had seven children, who all emigrated with him. The eldest, James Wilberforce Stephen, was fourth wrangler in 1844 and Fellow of St. John's College, and afterwards a judge in the colony of Victoria.] [Footnote 22: His _Constitution of a Christian Church_ (1846) was republished, in 1874, as _Churches the Many and the One_, with additional notes by his son, the Rev. Samuel Garratt, now rector of St. Margaret's, Ipswich, and canon of Norwich.] [Footnote 23: _Lectures_, vol. i. preface.] [Footnote 24: Preface to _Slavery Delineated_, i. pp. lix.-lxx.
