Hurrell Froude: Memoranda and Comments
Guiney, Louise Imogen
Froude, Richard Hurrell, 1803-1836
[49] Isaac Williams, 1802-1865: Scholar of Trinity,
afterwards perpetual Curate of Treyddn, Flintshire, and
author of _The Cathedral_.
[50] Sir George Prevost, Bart., 1804-1893, M.A., Oriel,
1827, married Jane, sister of Isaac Williams, 1828. Curate
to Thomas Keble at Bisley, 1828-1834: afterwards perpetual
Curate of Stinchcomb and Archdeacon of Gloucester.
[51] See p. 236 for Mr. Keble’s rebuke to Hurrell for a
verbal flippancy. ‘When at Oxford, I took up Law’s _Serious
Call to a Holy Life_, expecting to find it a dull book, as
such books generally are, and perhaps laugh at it. But I
found Law quite an over-match for me; and this was the first
occasion of my thinking in earnest of religion, after I
became capable of rational inquiry.’ _Boswell’s Johnson_,
edited by George Birkbeck Hill, i., 68.
[52] _The Exemplary Life and Character of James Bonnell,
Esq. [1653-1699], late Accomptant General of Ireland_, by
William Hamilton, A.M., Archdeacon of Armagh. The book was
first published in 1703.
[53] The common flash going on. R. H. F.’s note.
[54] A foot wanting. R. H. F., _ut supra_.
[55] Edward Copleston, 1776-1849: from 1814 to 1828 Provost
of Oriel, afterwards Bishop of Llandaff. The Hurrells had
Copleston blood.
[56] _Reminiscences chiefly of Oriel College and the Oxford
Movement_, by the Rev. T. Mozley, M.A. London: Longmans,
1882, i., 384.
[57] From the chapter entitled Edward Hawkins, the Great
Provost, in _Lives of Twelve Good Men_, by John William
Burgon, pp. 208-209.
[58] ‘Bob.’
[59] William Ralph Churton, Fellow of Oriel, the brilliant
and much-loved younger brother of the better-known Edward
Churton, Archdeacon of Cleveland. He died at his home in
Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, during the following
month. His _Remains_ were privately printed in 1830, and are
dedicated to the then Archbishop of Canterbury, and to nine
clergymen, the Oxonians Keble, Ogilvie, Cotton, Perceval,
and Froude among them. Their friendship, says the Preface,
‘honoured him in his death’; perhaps they bore together the
expenses of publication. There is nothing particularly
memorable in the book.
[60] Misprinted ‘situated’ in R. H. F.’s _Remains_.
[61] _John Henry Newman, Letters and Correspondence to
1845._ Edited by Anne Mozley. Longmans, 1890, i., 103.
[62] _Short Studies on Great Subjects_, 4th Series. London:
Longmans, 1883, p. 235.
[63] _Reminiscences chiefly of Oriel College and the Oxford
Movement_, by the Rev. T. Mozley, M.A., sometime Fellow of
Oriel. London: Longmans, 1882, i., 18.
[64] Sculptor. How recently has ‘statuary’ become an
obsolete word!
[65] A print of it appears in the _Remains_, i., 235.
