'...the mitre, which had been exchanged for a scarlet cap a short time before, was formally placed upon the head of the new Archbishop, whilst the crosier, emblematic of his authority, was also placed in his hand. He was then conducted to the archiepiscopal chair, at the foot of which the whole body of the clergy made the usual obeisance - kissing the Cardinal's ring in recognition of his spiritual proceedings closed with the presentation of an address to the new "Archbishop," and an exhortation, in which he impressed upon his clergy the duties and obligations incidental to their important mission. The mass was Haydn's, and performed by the choir in the most impressive style'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
