Memoir and Letters of Francis W. Newman (Dodo Press)


Book Description

Francis William Newman (1805-1897), the younger brother of Cardinal Newman, was an English scholar and miscellaneous writer. In 1847 he published anonymously History of the Hebrew Monarchy, intended to introduce the results of German investigation in this department of Biblical criticism. In 1849 appeared The Soul: Her Sorrows and Aspirations, and in 1850, Phases of Faith; or, Passages from the History of My Creed, the former a tender but searching analysis of the relations of the spirit of man with the Creator; the latter a religious autobiography detailing the author's passage from Calvinism to pure theism. It is on these two books that Professor Newman's celebrity will principally rest, as in them his intense earnestness has kept him free from the eccentricity which marred most of his other writings, excepting his contributions to mathematical research and oriental philology. His miscellaneous essays, some of much value, were collected in several volumes before his death. His last publication, Contributions Chiefly to the Early History of Cardinal Newman (1891), was generally condemned as deficient in fraternal feeling. He was far from possessing his brother's subtlety of reasoning.

Memoir and Letters of Francis W. Newman


Book Description

People have said that Newman gave up all worldly hopes of fame for the sake of this missionary venture. It may be that that is true in part. But, for myself, I cannot help seeing too that there may very well have been other powerful reasons which also influenced him in the matter. It was about this time that he asked my aunt, Maria Rosina Giberne, to whom he was passionately attached, to marry him, and was refused. I think it very probable that this may have been a strong reason why he wished to break up the old life and go for change abroad.
