The Poets and Poetry of the Nineteenth Century THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES The Sacred Poets of the Nineteenth Century gge ^ctcreb (potU of tge (jttneteenf^ Centeg^ James Montgomery to Anna Laetitia Waring Edited by ALFRED H. MILES LONDON GEORGE ROUTLEDGE & SONS, LTD. New York: E. P. BUTTON & CO. 1906 In the prefatory note to the second edition of this work (i8g6) the Editor incited criticism with a view to the improvement of future editions. Several critics responded to this appeal, and their valuable sugges- tions have been considered in pre- paring this re-issue. In some cases the text has been revised and the selection varied ; in others, addi- tions have been made to complete the representation. The biographi- cal and bibliographical matter has beeo brought up to date. —A. H. M. PREFATORY. and the following volume of The Poets THISAND THE Poetry of the Nineteenth Century, are devoted to the Sacred, Moral, and Religious poetry of the period. In several cases it has been found desirable to give further selections from the works of general poets already represented in earlier volumes. These are poets whose religious verse bears a sufficient proportion to their general poetry, or is sufficiently characteristic to call for separate representation. The Editor's thanks are due to many authors and publishers, some of the former of whom have passed away since their assent was given to represen- tation in this work. Of these, John Henry Newman, James Martineau, Horatius Bonar, John Stuart Blackie, and George MacDonald are the best known. The thanks of the Editor are due to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge for the use of the hymns of Anna Laetitia Waring in the following pages, and for the lyrics of the late Christina Rosetti which appear in the subsequent volume; to the Religious Tract Society, also in this connec- for the of Georae lion, hymns Rawsop ; to Messrs. 73'?675 vi PREFATORY.

Houlston & Sons for the use of poems by Ada Cross, nee Cambridge, and Sarah Doudney. The Editor regrets that he has found it impossible to trace the proprietorship of the copyrights of some of the hymns included in the following pages, and hopes that he may be forgiven if he has inadvertently trespassed upon rights of which he is unaware. In this connection he would cordially acknowledge his " indebtedness to Dr. Julian's invaluable Dictionary of Hymnology." A H. M. INDEX PAGE JAMES MONTGOMERY (1771—1854) • A. H.

  • An Early Ecclesiological Tour
    AN EARLY ECCLESIOLOGICAL TOUR In 1843 John Mason Neale, one of the founders of the Cambridge Camden Society, composed a short book on a subject that was beginning to attract good numbers of well-educated young men whose imagination was stirred by the drama of the Oxford Movement and the consequent attention directed to the condition of the nation's churches. The Camden Society had been established in 1839 to promote Ecclesiology - 'the study of Gothic Architecture, and of Ecclesiastical Antiquities', - and it rapidly became the main channel for the investigation of Gothic design in all its phases and for the consideration of the appropriate furnishings of an Anglican church in the mid-nineteenth century.i Neale was in his final year at Trinity College in 1839; by 1843 he was Chairman of the Society and already the author of numerous pamphlets on ecclesiological matters, often in conjunction with his close friend at Trinity, Benjamin Webb. The Society encouraged its members to undertake church tours, in a restricted locality, to record the contents and condition of churches in a systematic way, in order to create a register of the medieval buildings of the Church of England.ii During his undergraduate years, Neale made several intensive tours of different localities, which set the pattern for the perambulations that he described in his book of 1843.iii He gave this book an enigmatic title: Hierologus: A Church Tour though England and Wales. Hierologus can be translated as 'A Discourse on Sacred Matters'. The format of the book is modelled on Izaac Walton's Compleat Angler, where the interlocutors are Piscator, Venator and Auceps, the angler, the hunter and the hawker.

Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • John Mason: Anglican Millenarian and Friend of Dissenters 1
    JOHN MASON: ANGLICAN MILLENARIAN AND FRIEND OF DISSENTERS 1 MARILYN LEWIS In an earlier article, 2 John Mason, the millenarian rector of Water Straiford, was depicted as an old-fashioned Puritan within the Church of England who was friendly with Dissenters and much admired by later Evangelicals. Here, his relationships with contemporary Dissenting, and barely conforming, friends and his influence on later Evangelical admirers and critics, both Anglican and Nonconformist, are explored in greater depth. His career shows that the bound• aries between the Church of England and Dissent were less sharply demarcated than is often supposed. The Buckinghamshire writer of the much-loved hymn 'How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire?' emerges as a fascinating case study in the history of English Protestantism.

  • William Reeves Bishop, Scholar, Antiquary
    MEMORIAL DISCOURSE Trinity College Dublin Trinity Monday 24 May 1937 William Reeves Bishop, Scholar, Antiquary By John Ernest Leonard Oulton William Reeves was born at Charleville, Co. Cork, on St. Patrick’s Eve, 1815. The family of Reeves originally came from Dorset, but had long been settled in the South of Ireland. Several of its members were connected with the legal profession: William’s father, Boles D’Arcy Reeves was an attorney – “pragmaticus” he is styled in the Entrance Book; Sir William Reeves was attorney general in Ireland of King Charles I; and a more distant ancestor, Sir Thomas Reeves was an eminent ecclesiastical lawyer in the time of King James I. Incidentally, this Sir Thomas provides an instance of an author in the family, albeit of a somewhat peculiar kind, for he “rendered himself notorious by his literary efforts to represent St. Patrick as a myth, and the prevailing creed of Ireland a fable.” It has not, therefore, been left to modern days to spin strange theories concerning our national saint. On his mother’s side Reeves was also well connected. His grandfather was Captain Jonathan Bruce Roberts, who served during the whole of the War of Independence in America and fought at Bunker’s Hill in 1775. When his military career was over, Captain Roberts settled down in his native town of Charleville, and became as a man of peace a model of all that a country gentleman should be. It was in his house that William Reeves was born. Boles Reeves was a man of much originality and gifted with a store of wit and humour; and in this respect William certainly inherited something from his father, for he was always fond of a joke and much addicted, as were his contemporaries Dean Dickinson and Father Healy, to punning.

    3 ‘Scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd’: the pastoral responses of the Irish churches to emigration1 From an Irish clergyman’s point of view, by far the worst of the iniqui- ties facing migrants was the perceived threat to their faith. While for rhetorical reasons anti-emigration diatribes tended to highlight any wilful oppression – real or imagined – inhibiting the freedom to express one’s religion, it was more mundane limits on the ability to practise it which were of most pressing import. Reports of nativist attacks on churches in the United States, for example, may have prompted ‘gasconade, froth, foam and fury’ in the Irish Catholic press, but the churches that had yet to be built were the real barriers to incoming migrants’ religious participation.2 Immigrants of all denominations and in all rural destinations could find themselves at a considerable remove from the ministrations of their church, while those who migrated to cities might be among thousands of parish- ioners under the auspices of one over-stretched cleric.3 Evidently more clergy were needed, and until a body of ‘native’ ministers could be cultivated – relatively late in the day in many instances – the infant churches of the New World looked to the Old World to supply them. This chapter will explore the elements of this call, the readiness of the home churches to heed it, and the effectiveness of their responses. Before 1815, spiritual efforts on behalf of Irish emigrants were uneven. Although eighteenth-century Presbyterian emigrants were sometimes accompanied by their pastors, the extent of this phenom- enon, as Patrick Griffin has shown, can be exaggerated.4 There were certainly a few ‘cult heroes’ such as James McGregor of Aghadowey, who regarded themselves as leading latter-day Israelites out of oppres- sion and into a land of relative freedom, but, as Kerby Miller has argued, there were also those who admitted to emigrating for essen- tially careerist reasons.

  • A History of the Irish Church Since 1800

Disclaimer: The advertisements placed on this page by our server are not endorsed by the Church of Ireland (Traditional Rite) z The Act of Union. z The Second Reformation. z Disestablishment and the 20th Century. The Act of Union. The Rebellion of the United Irishmen in 1798 provoked the British Government into incorporating Ireland fully into the United Kingdom. The Pitt administration, with the help of the O'Neil interest in the Irish Parliament managed to push through the Act of Union that suppressed the Dublin Parliament, and created Irish seats at Westminster. The legislation had serious flaws, the worst of which was that, although most civil penalties against Roman Catholics had already been repealed, they were denied the vote and could not sit in Parliament. The 1801 Act failed to address these issues, but this was unintended. Pitt had wished to give Roman Catholics the vote, but King George III would not agree to it. Hannoverian obtuseness ensured that the Roman Catholic population did not get the vote, or the right to sit in Parliament, until 1829. Deeply flawed as it was, the Act of Union was the basis for the government of Ireland for the next 121 years. In addition to the civil provisions of the act there were ecclesiastical provisions. The Act provided for the Union of the Church of Ireland with the Church of England, though only a minority of the twenty- two Irish bishops received seats in the Westminster House of Lords.
