 i857-1862 281 Wolff asked why he did not go on with the history. " It is not our custom at Rome," was the reply. At a much later period, when Wolff was a priest in the English Church, he was urged to sign the protest against the appointment of Hampden to the Bishopric of Hereford. He declined to do so. He had seen much worse things done at Rome. Thus there was a Titular Archbishop of Elvira, von Haffelin, against whom the Pope himself warned Wolff, as an atheist and as immoral, having a number of natural children ; yet six weeks later this man was made a Cardinal.
