Hurrell Froude: Memoranda and Comments
Guiney, Louise Imogen
Froude, Richard Hurrell, 1803-1836
[170] Thomas Fowell Buxton, 1786-1845, M.P., knighted in
1840, prison reformer (brother-in-law of Mrs. Fry), and
William Wilberforce’s successor as head of the Anti-slavery
party in England.
[171] John Spedding Froude.
[172] A ‘Z’ stood, in Tractarian, for an ‘Establishment
man.’
[173] Thus in the _Remains_, but ‘if,’ by a misprint, in The
Newman _Correspondence_, ii., 33.
[174] Keble was eleven years older than Froude, nine years
older than Newman.
[175] Founded by a bequest to the S.P.G. of Christopher
Codrington, 1668-1710, the munificent Fellow of All Souls,
Oxford; licensed by Queen Anne; opened as a Grammar School
in 1742; but not a Collegiate institution for West Indian
clergy, as originally intended, until 1830.
[176] To ‘battel’ is a verb purely Oxonian by origin.
Battels are a man’s College accounts for supplies from
kitchen and buttery, or else all College accounts, inclusive
of board, lodging, tuition, rates, and sundries.
[177] _The Arians of the Fourth Century; their Doctrine,
Temper, and Conduct, chiefly as Exhibited in the Councils of
the Church between A.D. 325 and A.D. 384_, by John Henry
Newman, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College. London: Rivingtons,
1833. The book is dedicated to Keble. The review is in _The
British Magazine_ for January, 1834, v., 67. Mr. T. Mozley
thinks that _The Arians_ is the landmark of Newman’s
progress from Low Church to High Church.
[178] There are two brief papers and a poem signed ‘C.’ in
_The British Magazine_ Supplement, Dec. 31, 1833, in vol.
iv. The matter referred to is probably that dealing
‘Apostolically’ with Confirmation and First Communion. The
Editor has not been able to identify ‘C.’
[179] This still exists, the tallest, (a huge tree in
Froude’s time,) being over one hundred feet high.
[180] Vol. v., pp. 667 _et seq._; vi., 380 _et seq._
[181] ‘Some one, I think, asked in conversation at Rome
[1833], whether a certain interpretation of Scripture was
Christian. It was answered that Dr. Arnold took it; I
interposed: “But is _he_ a Christian?” The subject went out
of my head at once.’ _Apologia pro Vita Sua_, 1890, p. 33.
[182] The Rev. George Dudley Ryder, second son of the Hon.
and Rt. Rev. Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. He
married in June, 1834, Sophia Lucy, youngest daughter of the
Rev. J. Sargent, Rector of Lavington, Sussex, sister of Mrs.
Henry and of Mrs. Samuel Wilberforce, and of Mrs. H. E.
Manning.
[183] To ‘rat,’ a favourite verb with the two hide-bound
purists who used it daily, means obviously to forsake or
abandon anything, as rats skurry away from a sinking ship.
