Hurrell Froude: Memoranda and Comments
Guiney, Louise Imogen
Froude, Richard Hurrell, 1803-1836
[66] _John Henry Newman, Letters and Correspondence to
1845_, i., 8.
[67] The interval of a second in music: an amusing
employment of the word, in this sense then, as now, obsolete
and rare.
[68] _The Christian Year_: Forms of Prayer to be Used at
Sea, line 5, not quite correctly quoted:
‘The wild winds rustle in the piping shrouds
As in the quivering trees.’
[69] Joseph Dornford, 1794-1868, Fellow of Oriel; after a
military career, Rector of Plymtree, Devon, and Canon of
Exeter Cathedral. He had travelled in Ireland this summer.
[70] The word now has come to imply a sort of hero-worship
based on a questionable social motive; but in Froude’s day
it meant only those who showed, described, or patronised
celebrated places, these being the ‘lions.’
[71] A half-legendary contemporary of S. Columbkille. Sir
Walter Scott had crawled into the Hole or Bed at Glendalough
in 1825.
[72] _Remains of the Rev. Richard Hurrell Froude_, part i.,
ii., 318, Note.
[73] At Greenaway on the Dart, between Dartmouth and Totnes,
opposite Dittisham.
[74] The lines were written in some lady’s autograph album
during this visit.
[75] _The Christian Year_: Septuagesima Sunday, closing
stanza.
[76] Arthur, eldest son of Arthur Champernowne, Esq., of
Dartington Hall, died during this year, 1831, aged 17. His
next brother Henry died in 1851, aged 36.
[77] Newman, _Letters and Correspondence_, ii., 73.
[78] Of course in allusion to the proverb that rain on July
15 (S. Swithun’s Day) means a more or less prolonged
downpour.
[79] William I., King of the Netherlands, formerly William
Frederick, Prince of Orange.
[80] Thomas Elrington, M.A., D.D., formerly President of
Trinity College, Dublin, an active and devoted prelate. He
lived until July 12, 1835.
[81] The name of the Bishop who was the great antagonist of
the Lollards, Fellow of Oriel in his day, is properly
spelled Pecock.
[82] ‘The Time-Spirit of the Nineteenth Century,’ in
_Problems and Persons_, by Wilfrid Ward. Longmans, 1903.
[83] Robert Isaac Wilberforce. His mind was truly profound,
and it was ‘authentic,’ to borrow the word beautifully
applied to him in a memorial verse of his friend Mr. Aubrey
de Vere.
[84] On Justice as a Principle of Divine Governance.
_University Sermons_, VI.
[85] Neander: this playful Hellenising of Newman’s name was
general, at one time, among Oxonians of his own circle.
