Collins, M.A. INDBX 361 INTRODUCTION THE lectures which are contained in this volume were delivered during the spring and early summer of last year, first at St Margaret s Westminster, and subsequently in the Abbey Church of St Albans. It is proposed by the Com mittee of the Church Historical Society that they should be followed by other sets of lectures, presenting in the aggregate a series of biographies of Typical English Churchmen from the earliest times to the present day. According to the scheme of the present course, each lecturer was to be left entire freedom in dealing with his subject, the only stipulation being that the point of view should be strictly historical. Thus it will be found that differences abound, both in the method of treatment and in the standpoint of the writers. The lectures in some are more vary considerably length ; general in plan, whilst some embody the results of no small of are whilst amount minute research ; some freely annotated, others are almost or entirely without notes. Again, no attempt has been made to secure uniformity of language or to smooth away differences of opinion : each lecture records its author s own convictions and bears the impress of his personal equa tion; and if there be an unity underlying the diversity of standpoint and of outlook, as we have no doubt whatever that there is, and that it will so appear to any who study the volume as a whole, it is the unity which springs from our common life, not simply that which comes from the adoption of a common programme. Again, the choice of subjects for the particular lectures may perhaps be considered open to criticism. It may be contended that the persons chosen for treatment are not in all cases conspicuous examples of saintliness. It may be urged that viii Introduction the seventeenth century, prolific as it was in great men, is unduly represented. A series of Typical English Churchmen which omits Andrewes and Laud, Berkeley and Wesley and Whitefield, Arnold and the leaders of the Oxford Movement, not to mention others who flourished during the period which it covers, can hardly lay claim to anything approaching logical completeness. And even so, several names might easily be suggestedOO as alternatives to one or other of those which have been included. But to all this an adequate answer may, I believe, be given. The aim of these lectures was not primarily to set forth patterns of the Christian life for imita tion, but to supply guidance, by the study of the past, towards the realization of the ideal which God has set before us as Churchmen and the for the English ; consequently subjects lectures were not chosen as conspicuous examples of holi ness, but as notable types of English Churchmanship. The seventeenth century was such an age of ecclesiastical giants that on this ground alone it might fairly claim a larger for the and more representation than, example, eighteenth ; especially is this the case in view of the fact that the age of Bramhall and Usher and Taylor, like that of Theodore and Benedict Biscop and Wilfrid, may fairly claim to be one of the great formative periods in the history of the English Church. Some who might well claim a place as Typical English Churchmen have been omitted because excellent short bio of them are in existence and others graphies already ; because, valuable as their message and example have been for later days, their place in contemporary history was hardly such as to lend itself to treatment in this form. And whilst it is true that alternative names might easily be suggested instead of several which are here included, it must be borne in mind that no selection can do more than represent the views, and the reading, of the person or persons by whom it has been made. If some well-known names be absent, it must not be assumed that they were overlooked, or set aside without careful consideration for the it is at least a fact of ; and rest, worthy notice, and a matter of no little satisfaction to those who were responsible for the selection, that the individual lecturers have Introduction ix seen no reason to depreciate their subjects, but rather have found them both more interesting and more attractive as the result of careful study. This is a fact which the reader can test, in a measure, for himself. I pass on to speak of our plan as a whole, in its larger aspects. The object which we have set before ourselves is to present and pourtray, as faithfully and impartially as we can, the life and work of a series of Typical English Church men. We do so with the assured conviction that, if this plan can be carried out with even a measure of fidelity, it will appear that a real unity of thought and character, and that of a very decided kind, underlies the manifold differences of temperament and opinion and circumstance which the pourtrayal will reveal. We believe, in fact, that just as there is a type of character, manifold yet one, which can truly be termed English, so also is there a type of churchmanship corresponding with it, which can truly be termed Anglican. We believe, further, that this type may be traced throughout the history of the English Church : that, in fact, it was de veloped in and through the history of the English Church. It is no creation of the English Reformation, although no doubt it was markedly intensified then, just as it would have been in part obliterated or obscured had the tumults of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries ended in a victory either 1 for Rome or for Geneva . It is to be traced, in its main features, both before and after that period : the history of the English Church is as truly one as that of the English people, and the type of character evolved by the one is as well marked, generally speaking, as that evolved by the other. It is not of course a perfect type, perhaps very far from it. It has its it " the defects of its But at strong points, and has qualities." 1 This is no mere assumption or surmise, but a statement which may easily be tested by reference to a parallel case. No competent student can doubt that the terms "the Gallican Church" or "the Spanish Churches," have little by little been evacuated of all their ancient meaning as the result of a process which is the direct opposite to our Reformation, so far as this latter affected our relations with the papacy. Our own day has seen a revival of the true Gallican spirit, the ultimate effects of which are still to be realized. x Introduction any rate (unless indeed we are wrong in thinking that ic exists at it is use all) there. We may and develop it, or misuse and pervert it. We may strengthen it where it is weak, or we may dissipate the strength that it has. But we cannot get away from it except by mutilating ourselves in the most terrible of all ways, by abjuring our own history : by renouncing the heritage which comes to us from the past, and thus depriving ourselves of the promise of the future. And not only ourselves : for the character which is impressed upon us and the type into which we have been moulded carries with it a message. That which we have as a heritage is likewise that which the world craves at our hands : not indeed the only thing which the world needs, but yet a thing which it assuredly cannot be deprived of without grievous loss. The type is there, and we are delivering our message, whether we are conscious of it or not but it is ; obviously desirable that we should recognize it, that we should be conscious workers and not merely unconscious.

Uaunton BARNICOTT &- PEARCE, ATHEN^UM PRESS 1907 BARNICOTT AND PEARCE PRINTERS Preface. T is usual to write something as a preface, and this generally appears to be to make some excuse for having written at all. In a pre- face to Tom Toole and his Friends — a very interesting book published a few years ago, by Mrs. Henry Sandford, in which the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, together with the Wedgwoods and many other eminent men of that day figure,—the author says, on one occasion, when surrounded by old letters, note books, etc., an old and faithful servant remon- " " strated with her thus : And what for ? she " demanded very emphatically. There's many a hundred dozen books already as nobody ever reads." Her hook certainly justified her efforts, and needed no excuse. But what shall I say of this } What for do 1 launch this little book, which only refers to the parish ot Mylor ^ vi Preface. The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng- land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en- deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities.

One, at least, ought to have known better, for he has edited more books of the Puritan epoch than any other man in England.

  • Sidgwick's Philosophical Intuitions
    Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, X, 2008, 2, pp. 185-209 Sidgwick’s Philosophical Intuitions Anthony Skelton Department of Philosophy University of Western Ontario [email protected] ABSTRACT Sidgwick famously claimed that an argument in favour of utilitarianism might be provided by demonstrating that a set of defensible philosophical intuitions undergird it. This paper focuses on those philosophical intuitions. It aims to show which specific intuitions Sidgwick endorsed, and to shed light on their mutual connections. It argues against many rival interpretations that Sidgwick maintained that six philosophical intuitions constitute the self- evident grounds for utilitarianism, and that those intuitions appear to be specifications of a negative principle of universalization (according to which differential treatments must be based on reasonable grounds alone). In addition, this paper attempts to show how the intuitions function in the overall argument for utilitarianism. The suggestion is that the intuitions are the main positive part of the argument for the view, which includes Sidgwick's rejection of common-sense morality and its philosophical counterpart, dogmatic intuitionism. The paper concludes by arguing that some of Sidgwick's intuitions fail to meet the conditions for self-evidence which Sidgwick himself established and applied to the rules of common-sense morality. 0. One aim of Henry Sidgwick’s The Methods of Ethics is to provide an argument for utilitarianism, the view that an agent acts rightly insofar as she performs that

  • Justifying Atonement: an Anselmian Response to Modern Critics
    Justifying Atonement: An Anselmian Response to Modern Critics Daniel Shannon DePauw University This paper considers three modern objections to Anselm’s argument on atonement in book I of Cur Deus Homo. The objections are from Friedrich Nietzsche, R. C. Moberly, and Hastings Rashdall; each one makes the case that Anselm’s argument is fallacious. Each one interprets Anselm’s position as requiring that someone innocent suffer punishment in order to acquit guilt. I contend that these objectors do not offer a strong case against Anselm’s argument, principally because they have not examined it completely and have misunderstood his reasoning. In fine, Anselm’s case is (a) the Son’s obedience to the Father suffices for atonement, (b) the Son is an advocate for Adam and his heirs and stands in for them because of his blood ties to humanity, and (c) the Son is the advocate for the Father in the latter’s attempt to end human estrangement from justice. Being both an advocate of the Father and an heir to Adam, the Son’s Incarnation itself prepares the way of reconciliation and the life of the upright will resolves estrangement. The fact that the Son suffers pain and death is due not to the Father’s will but to our resistance to the justice of the Son’s upright will. In the paper I provide an outline of Anselm’s original argument and attempt to show through analyzing its various parts how Anselm avoids the objections made against him. The basic assumptions that Anselm has about the motivation for redemption—the role of sin and suffering in humanity—and the resolution through love and justice is not alien to the modern critic.

Moreover it is our will that each year for all time in the cathedral church of Durham on the twenty-seventh day of January, solemn rites of the dead shall be held, together with mass on the following day, for the souls of our dearest ancestors and of all the founders and benefactors of the ancient convent of Durham, to which shall be summoned the dean, all the canons, and the rest of the ministers, scholars and poor men. Cap. 34 of Queen Mary’s Statutes of Durham Cathedral, 1554 Translated by Canon Dr David Hunt, March 2014 2 Welcome Welcome to the annual commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. This service gives us an opportunity to celebrate those whose generosity in the past has enriched the lives of Durham’s great institutions today and to look forward to a future that is full of opportunity. On 27 January 1914, the then Dean, Herbert Hensley Henson, revived the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. It had been written into the Cathedral Statutes of 1554 but for whatever reason had not been observed for centuries.

  • Fleeming Jenkin
    MEMOIR OF FLEEMING JENKIN BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1901 PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. ON the death of Fleeming Jenkin, his family and friends determined to publish a selection of his various papers; by way of introduction, the following pages were drawn up; and the whole, forming two considerable volumes, has been issued in England. In the States, it has not been thought advisable to reproduce the whole; and the memoir appearing alone, shorn of that other matter which was at once its occasion and its justification, so large an account of a man so little known may seem to a stranger out of all proportion. But Jenkin was a man much more remarkable than the mere bulk or merit of his work approves him. It was in the world, in the commerce of friendship, by his brave attitude towards life, by his high moral value and unwearied intellectual effort, that he struck the minds of his contemporaries. His was an individual figure, such as authors delight to draw, and all men to read of, in the pages of a novel. His was a face worth painting for its own sake. If the sitter shall not seem to have justified the portrait, if Jenkin, after his death, shall not continue to make new friends, the fault will be altogether mine. R. L S. SARANAC, Oct., 1887. CHAPTER I. The Jenkins of Stowting--Fleeming's grandfather--Mrs. Buckner's fortune--Fleeming's father; goes to sea; at St. Helena; meets King Tom; service in the West Indies; end of his career--The Campbell-Jacksons--Fleeming's mother--Fleeming's uncle John.
