Overview

Joseph Story was an 18th-century Anglican bishop in Ireland. Story was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was appointed Chaplain to the Irish House of Commons in 1731 and Dean of Ferns in 1734. He was appointed to the episcopate at Bishop of Killaloe in 1740 and translated to Kilmore in 1742. He died on 22 September 1757. In literature An unnamed Bishop of Kilmore appears in the latter portion of the short story "The Ash-tree" by M.R. James, set in 1754. Whether this is a Roman Catholic or Church of Ireland bishop is not explicitly stated, but in context the latter is more probable; if so, this character would be Joseph Story, who held the see at that time. In the story, the bishop is a guest at the country house of Sir Richard Fell and participates in the investigation of his death. References

Notable quotes

“I will not say with Lord Hale, that "the law will admit of no rival, and nothing to go even with it;" but I will say, that it is a jealous mistress, and requires a long and constant courtship. It is not to be won by trifling favours, but by a lavish homage.”
— A Discourse Pronounced upon the Inauguration of the Author, as Dane Professor of Law in Harvard University on the Twenty-fifth Day of August, 1829 (1829), p. 29.
“Every free man has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public; to forbid this is to destroy the freedom of the press.”

“Indeed, in a free government, almost all other rights would become utterly worthless, if the government possessed an uncontrollable power over the private fortune of every citizen.”
— Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, Volume 3, Joseph Story, Hilliard, Grey (1833), § 1784, p. 661
“Thus, the whole power over the subject of religion is left exclusively to the state government, to be acted upon according to their own sense of justice, and the state constitutions; and the Catholic and the Protestant, the Calvinist and the Arminian, the Jew and the Infidel, may sit down at the common table of the national councils, without any inquisition into their faith, or mode of worship.”
