Excerpt from The Life and Speeches of the Very Rev. J. H. Cotton, B. C. L., Dean of Bangor, and Rector of Llanllechyd: With a Brief Sketch of the Period in Which He Lived, to Which Is Added an Appendix, Containing a Chronological List With Biographical Sketches of the Deans of Bangor, From 1162 to the Present Time The late Dean had been dead twelve years, and there appeared no probability of any one else undertaking to publish his Life, although, to use the words of a writer in a local paper soon after his death, there are few whose characters could so well afford to wait to have justice done them, inasmuch as his many excellencies will be embalmed'in the memories of those who have been for so many years witnesses of his daily acts - his neverceasz'ng labour of love. In one of the characters of Shakspeare it is said, The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones.
