John Henry Newman was bom in London on the 21st February, 1801. His father, John Newman, was one of a family of small landed proprietors in Cambridgeshire ; his mother, whose maiden name was Fourdrinier, came of a well-known Huguenot family which had settled in the metropolis as paper manufacturers. John Newman from being clerk in a bank became a partner in the firm of Eamsbottom, Newman, Eamsbottom, and Company, of 72, Lombard Street. According to Mozley he had an hereditary taste for music, of which he had a practical and scientific knowledge. In addition to being a man of general culture, he devoted much time and thought to various social
schemes, such as the reclaiming and planting of waste lands. He was a Freemason and held a high position in the craft, and would appear to have been a man of superior talents. In religion he followed the Evangelicalism of the day, and in this was encouraged by his wife, who was thoroughly in harmony with the Protestant traditions of her family, and who taught her children that modified Calvinism which is to be found in the works of divines like Watts, Newton, Baxter, and Scott.
A Short Life of Cardinal Newman eBook J S Fletcher
I read the book in phases but towards the end it became so interesting that I could hardly put it down. It had been written very well but printing errors are annoying. I, especially, liked the description of how the Cardinal was accepted into the new faith and circumstances leading to it. As a hindu who was educated by Jesuits, I found the book very fascinating. I understand the background to the Anglo-Catholic movement and look forward to reading the Cardinal's works.Product details
