Hurrell Froude: Memoranda and Comments
Guiney, Louise Imogen
Froude, Richard Hurrell, 1803-1836
[159] The ‘man’ is Jean Bon de St. André, Deputy to the
Convention for the Department of Lot during the Reign of
Terror; he was preferred by Napoleon, and died in 1813. He
was present when Earl Howe defeated the French fleet on June
1, 1794, and distinguished himself after the fashion
commemorated in the Elegy which appeared in the
_Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine_ on May 14, 1798, and was
the joint production of Canning, Gifford, and Frere:
‘Poor John was a gallant captain
In battles much delighting;
He fled full soon,
On the first of June,
But he bade the rest keep fighting.’
The stave appears again, of course, in _Poetry of the
Anti-Jacobin_, Edited with Explanatory notes by Charles
Edmonds, 3rd edition, London, Sampson Low, etc., 1890, p.
187. The _New Anti-Jacobin_, a brilliant monthly advocating
high Tory principles, sprang into life for April and May,
1833, and died. Froude must have been deeply interested in
it. Nothing we know of him is more engaging than this very
gallant applying to himself of such a quotation at such a
time, and for such a reason.
[160] Rev. Anthony Buller, 1809-1881, afterwards Rector of
Mary Tavy; ordained at Exeter on Oct. 27 of this year.
[161] _The Arians of the Fourth Century._
[162] Mr. Rose’s friend, William Rowe Lyall, 1788-1857, then
Archdeacon of Colchester, afterwards Dean of Canterbury.
Owing to Mr. Rose’s failing health, the two exchanged
livings this year, and Archdeacon Lyall remained at Hadleigh
till 1841, Mr. Rose having died in Italy.
[163] Of 1831.
[164] William Hart Coleridge, 1789-1849, brother to George,
Master of Ottery Free School; first Bishop of Barbados and
the Leeward Islands, 1824, and reorganiser of Codrington
College. He resigned in 1841, when the diocese was divided.
[165] ‘Unconnected’ in the text of the _Remains_, but
corrected in the little list of _errata_.
[166] This, of course, is one of the passages upon which the
Editors of the _Remains_ rely to prove negatively their
contention that Froude’s Anglicanism was immutably fixed.
The ‘Popery’ in this passage is not in its ‘grammatical
sense,’ but plainly refers to furtherance of O’Connell’s
measures.
[167] Jeremy Collier’s _Ecclesiastical History of Great
Britain_, first published in two volumes folio in 1708,
1714.
[168] Lieutenant-Colonel J. Lyons Nixon, L.G.
[169] [If they had had the _whole body_ of the English
Church in agreement with them. The sort and amount of
alteration which the writer probably contemplated may be
seen in _Tracts for the Times_, Via Media.] Note, _Remains_,
i., 348. So sure was Newman of R. H. F.’s posthumous
approbation.
