Footnote 33:
_Autobiography of John Stuart Mill_, p. 125. Mill is describing a
debate at ‘a society of Owenites called the Co-operation Society,’ in
1825. ‘It was a _lutte corps à corps_ between Owenites and political
economists, whom the Owenites regarded as their most inveterate
opponents; but it was a perfectly friendly dispute.... The speaker
with whom I was most struck, though I dissented from nearly every word
he said, was Thirlwall, the historian, since Bishop of S. David’s,
then a Chancery barrister, unknown except by a high reputation for
eloquence acquired at the Cambridge Union before the era of Austin and
Macaulay. His speech was in answer to one of mine. Before he had
uttered ten sentences, I set him down as the best speaker I had ever
heard, and I have never since heard anyone whom I placed above him.’
Footnote 34:

Schleiermacher. With an introduction by the Translator, containing an
account of the controversy respecting the origin of the first three
Gospels since Bishop Marsh’s dissertation. 8vo. London: 1825.
Footnote 43:
F. D. Maurice writes, 25 February, 1848: ‘The Bishop of S. David’s
very injudiciously translated, about twenty years ago,
Schleiermacher’s book on S. Luke—the one of all, perhaps, which he
ever wrote the most likely to offend religious people in England, and
so mislead them as to his real character and objects.’ _Life of F. D.
Maurice_, i. 454.
Footnote 44:
Between 1827 and 1832 he held the college offices of Junior Bursar,
Junior Dean, and Head Lecturer. In 1828, 1829, 1832, and 1834 he was
one of the examiners for the Classical Tripos.

passage commented on will be found in the _Quarterly Review_ for
January 1829 (vol. xxxix. p. 8). The first edition of Niebuhr’s own

June 1825 (vol. xxxii. p. 67).
