  • Lucy Massey: a Forgotten Poet
    Lucy Massey: A Forgotten Poet ACING the Haymarket in Norwich and sheltered on the north F by the great mass of St. Peter's Mancroft Church, where Sir Thomas Browne's statue now sits, contemplating a funerary urn held in his hand, there was formerly a substantial if somewhat ramshackle house, built probably in the seventeenth century, its first floor project­ ing a little and having an attic story with gabled dormer windows. Here in 1822 Simon Wilkin had opened his bookshop and set up his printing works. Here, after Simon left in 1834, Josiah Fletcher brought his bride, Sarah Williams, and here were born their three children-Benjamin Edgington, Emma, and Lucy, the youngest, in 1842. The premises must have. been a hive of activity for besides housing the growing family in reasonable comfort, they provided for a considerable business enterprise, which after 1845 included the editing and printing' of the Norfolk News. For the children the location had much to commend it. Apart from all the interest pro­ vided by being in the heart of the city, two or three minutes' walk took them to the Castle mound round which the girls were wont to run with their hoops before breakfast. Benjamin went to school but the girls had a governess, who, Lucy wrote later, "taught us much of thought and poetry, but not the grounding education she was supposed to be giving".* In due course they learned Latin and the early morn­ ing hoop runs gave way to reading Virgil with father before he started his day's work.

EMERITUS PKOFESSOK OF GREEK IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS HONORARY FELLOW OF BALLIOL COLLEGE, OXFORD LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL 1901 LK TO CHARLES SAVILE ROUNDELL My dear Roundell, You have truly spoken of the Act, which forms the central subject of this book, as " a little measure that may boast great things." To you, more than to anyone now living, the success of that measure was due ; and without your help its progress could not here have been set forth. To you, therefore, as of right, the following pages are in- scribed. Yours very sincerely, LEWIS CAMPBELL PREFACE IN preparing the first volume of the Life of Benjamin fowett, I had access to documents which threw unexpected light on certain movements, especially in connexion with Oxford University- Reform. I was thus enabled to meet the desire of friends, by writing an article on " Some Liberal Move- ments of the Last Half-century," which appeared in the Fortnightly Review for March, 1900. And I was encouraged by the reception which that article met with, to expand the substance of it into a small book. Hence the present work. I have extended my reading on the subject, and have had recourse to all sources of information which I found available.

ISBN 0 7546 5054 5 The outlines of Marian Evans's life in the years immediately preceding her emergence as George Eliot are well-known-her work for the Westminster Review, her relationships with Chapman, Spencer and Lewes, and then her departure with the latter to Germany in July 1854. What these two studies do in their different ways is fill in the picture with fascinating detail. In focusing on the house that John Chapman rented from 1847 to 1854 and from which he ran the Westminster Review and his publishing business, Rosemary Ashton recreates the circle of radical intellectuals that the future novelist came into contact with through living there and working as the effective editor of Chapman' s journal.

The Martineau Society’s Conference in July, 2016, has no doubt contributed to enhancing the visitor figures. It was, of course, held in Birmingham (and about 500 metres from a grammar school attended many decades ago by your editor. The school has since disappeared under the major road development of Broad Street, Birmingham). It certainly impresses the visitor as a big, bustling city Birmingham is again constantly renewing itself with new buildings and highway works just as it must have done in the nineteenth century as it grew to be the largest conurbation outside of London.

    THE T ii E I S Li 0 JAMES M A It T I 1, E A U A Thesis submitted, to the Faculty of .Divinity of the University of Edinburgh in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Ph. D. degree. Gerald Otho LloJulloh, II.A., S.T.B Hay, 1933, -1- This study is an exposition and evaluation of the Theism of James Liartineau, shewing also the manner in which Martineau influenced and was influenced by tiie various trends of thought in the nineteenth century. Special attention has been devoted to that phase of his theism which deals y/ith his doctrine of God. The task of presenting a clear picture of Martineau's viev,r has been rendered difficult at some points by his practice of criticizing opposing views without giving a systematic presentation of his own. In such cases it has been found necessary to deal directly with his treatment of the relation between his own position and that to which he is opposed. Although his exposition of these opposing views is not always accurate, no criticism has been attempted of these inaccuracies. It will be seen that such questions are not of major importance for the understanding of Llartineau's own position. In making citations in l^ootnotes the books have been indicated by the author's name, the initials of the title of the book to which reference is made, and the volume and page numbers. it'or example, a reference to Martineau's Study of fteligion. volume one, page thirteen, will appear thus: Martineau, SCii, I, 13.

Hill ociologically speaking, Harriet Martineau wrote an important letter to one of her publishers, John Chapman, on 23 April 1851. Here, she announced her “notion” to Stranslate Auguste Comte’s Philosophie Positive. The end result was no small matter in the history of sociology: Martineau’s translation, underwritten by Edward Lombe and published by Chapman, effectively introduced Comte’s founding sociological treatise to large numbers of English-speaking readers for the first time in a comprehensive and detailed manner.

  • James Martineau Selections
    JAMES MARTINEAU I 888 JAMES MARTINEAU SELECTIONS COMPILED BY ALFRED HALL, M.A, D.D. THE LINDSEY PRESS 14 GORDON SQUARE, LONDON, W.C.1 First published 1950 The nineteenth century had no more reverent thinker than Mar- tineau : the awe of the Eternal was the very atmosphere he breathed, and he looked at man with the com- passion of one whose thoughts were full of God. PREFACE THE following selections have been made in the hope that interest may be revived in the man of whom Gladstone said, " There is no doubt that Mr. Martineau is the greatest of living thinkers." In the Victorian Age, when the conflict between science and religion was at its height, he stood forth as the protagonist on behalf of Ethical Theism. A man of exceptional mental quali- ties and argumentative power, he was recognized at once by the opponents of theism as a foeman worthy of their steel. " At critical moments ", wrote Dr. Fair- bairn, " the name of James Martineau was a tower of strength to the feeble, and his words, like Luther's, were not only half battles, but equal to whole victories." Yet in recent discussions dealing with that controversy and in volumes treating of the Philosophy of Religion, his work and thought have received scant attention. Even those who have been proud to regard him as their leader have been neglectful of his writings. It may be that his influence has waned, because, owing to the disturbed state of the world during the last two genera- tions, little opportunity has been afforded for the serious contemplation of the high themes of the ultimate truths of God and the soul.
