[125] William Whewell, 1794-1866: Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. The particular ‘book’ may be, judging from the context and the date, the _Astronomy and General Physics, considered with Reference to Natural Theology_. [126] Adam Sedgwick, 1785-1873: Woodwardian Professor of Geology in the University of Cambridge. [127] Connop Thirlwall, 1797-1875: historian and Bishop of S. David’s. [128] Julius Charles Hare, 1795-1855, of Trinity College, Cambridge, afterwards Incumbent of Hurstmonceaux, and Archdeacon of Lewes. Like Thirlwall, he was a familiar friend of Baron Bunsen. For a passing instance of the ‘puffing’ contemned by Froude, see _Memorials of a Quiet Life_, 1876, iii., 224. [129] John of Salisbury, afterwards Bishop of Chartres, the companion and biographer of S. Thomas à Becket, and ‘for thirty years the central figure of English learning.’ (Stubbs, _Lectures_, p. 139.) He was born _circa_ A.D. 1118, and died in the year 1180. [130] Anglicised Latin, that is: Latin taught with the Continental pronunciation, or any approach to it, being unheard-of in the England of that time. [131] _Remains of William Ralph Churton_ (Private Impression), 1830, p. 162. [132] _Reminiscences_, etc., i., 294. [133] Froude means the Abbé de Lamennais, Lacordaire, Montalembert, and their friends, to whom he was strongly attracted. Lacordaire, newly withdrawn from _L’Avenir_, was at this time at Nôtre Dame, not yet a Dominican. What a friend he would have been for R. H. F.! [134] The Absolutions, in the Book of Common Prayer. [135] [Here, and in many other places, it is the author’s way to bring forward as motives of action for himself and others what were but secondary, and rather the reflection of his mind upon its acts, and that as if with a view to avoid the profession of high and great things. Such, too, is the Scripture way: as where we are told to do good to our enemies, as if ‘to heap coals of fire on their heads,’ and to take the lowest place, in order to ‘have worship in the presence’ of spectators.] Note, _Remains_, 1838, i., 314. [136] The motto appears first in _The British Magazine_, Dec., 1833, followed by: ‘Compare _Daniel_ i., 7.’ [137] Dan. xii., 13. [138] The reading here, slightly altered and bettered from the copy printed in the _Remains_, is from _Lyra Apostolica_, 1836. [139] Ezek. xxvii., 11. [140] The text in 1833 has ‘wandering.’ The Rev. H. C. Beeching adopts it, with this Note: ‘Perhaps the line should run: “Far-wandering from the East.”’ [141] In _The British Magazine_ for May 1835 (vii., 518) this poem first appears, and there bears no motto, and has ‘The Exchange’ for title. The title in the _Remains_ is ‘Farewell to Toryism.’
