The Right Rev. James Travers Lewis, L.L.D., first Bishop of Ontario, Upper Canada, 1861. '...the rapid growth of the population and the still (in proportion) more rapid increase of the membership of the Church of England rendered the formation of two new bishoprics an absolute necessity...The Rev. Dr. Lewes...graduated at Trinity College, Dublin...He is now thirty-four years of age, and is probably the youngest of all the Church of England Bishops. He is a native of the county of Cork, in Ireland...He graduated as Senior Moderator in Ethics and Logic, and held the distinguished position of Gold Medalist. He was ordained Deacon in Cambridge by the Bishop of Chester in 1848...On his arrival in Canada he was appointed to the county parish of Hawkesbury, on the Ottawa River, by the Bishop of Toronto. In 1854 he was translated to the Rectory of Brookville, where he has distinguished himself as a faithful and efficient minister. His election as Bishop has given great satisfaction in the diocese of Ontario to Protestants of all denominations. On his return to Brookville, after the synod had adjourned, the bells of the town rang out a joyous peal, and he was escorted to his home by a large number of his parishioners'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
