  CHARLES SUMNER - LoveToKnow Article on CHARLES SUMNER
Sumner co-operated effectively with Horace Mann for the improvement of the system of public education in Massachusetts.
In 1847 the vigour with which Sumner denounced a Boston congressmans vote in favor of the Mexican War Bill made him the logical leader of the Conscience Whigs, but he declined to accept their nomination for Congress.
He took an active part in the organizing of the Free Soil party, in revolt at the Whigs nomination of a slave-holding southerner for the presidency; and in 1848 was defeated as a candidate for the national House of Representatives.

In 1820 George IV wished to appoint him canon of Windsor, but the prime minister, Lord Liverpool, objected; Sumner received instead a royal chaplaincy and librarianship, and other preferments quickly followed, till in 1826 he was consecrated bishop of Llandaff and in 1827 bishop of Winchester.
He also edited and translated John Milton's De doctrina christiana, which was found in the State Paper office in 1823, and formed the text of Macaulay's famous essay on Milton.

 Gentlemen in Trollope article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Yet Doreen Rosman disputes the generally held opinion that Evangelicals lacked a university education, citing the Evangelical Isaac Milner's university degree, and the Evangelical Samuel Lee, a carpenter's apprentice who mastered Greek and Hebrew, "before being sent to Cambridge at CMS expense" (1984: 205).
And a charge by the low church bishop, Charles Richard Sumner, to the diocese of Winchester in 1862, states that it would be "a national loss" if clergymen ceased to be educated at university (1862: 27).
