'We have just received excellent photographs, taken by Mr. Notman, Montreal, of the Bishops...and we engrave their Portraits...The Hon. and Right Rev. John Strachan, D.D., is the senior of the Bishops...being eighty-four on his last birthday; he was consecrated as the first Bishop of Toronto in 1839. The Right Rev. G. J. Mountain, D.D...was consecrated as third Bishop of Quebec in 1836. The Right Rev. Benjamin Cronyn, D.D., was consecrated as first Bishop of Huron in 1857; and the Right Rev. J. T. Lewis, LL.D., was consecrated at Kingston, C.W., as first Bishop of Ontario on the 25th of last March, being the first time that any episcopal consecration has ever taken place in Canada. The Right Rev. Francis Tulford, D.D., was consecrated first Bishop of Montreal in 1850; and in 1860 he and his successors were constituted, by Royal Letters Patent, Metropolitans of the United Church of England and Ireland in Canada.
