In presenting the Ninth Annual Report, the Com­ mittee have again to express their thankfulness at the satisfactory and steady progress of the missionary work. This, it is believed, fully justifies the in­ creased demands upon the resources of the Associa­ tion. The information printed from time to time in the Monthly Record, will have placed before the Sub­ scribers the general details of the work ; and the separate reports of the Sub-Committees relating to the Madagascar and Indian Missions are now appended. As regards Home work, Missionary meetings have been held in about thirty-six different places, in order to deepen the interest of Friends in the labours of the Missionaries, and with a view to obtain an increase in the amount of the regular annual subscriptions. A t these Missionary meetings mem­ bers of the Committee of the Association have attended to give information respecting the present position of the Missions. The Committee are chiefly indebted to Isaac Brown, Isaac Sharp, and Henry Stanley Newman for this service. Isaac Sharp, whose attention has been especially devoted to the various Friends’ schools, has held twenty- three meetings with the pupils, illustrating his lectures with large coloured diagrams. Helen 8 Grilpin, since her return from Madagascar has also attended some meetings, and given interesting details respecting the work in Madagascar. H. S. Newman attended the Annual Meeting of the Irish Auxiliary, in Dublin. It is satisfactory to observe that the Subscriptions and Donations during the year have amounted to £6,047, being an increase of £1,825 above the pre­ vious year. The expenses for the year (£6,600) have, on the other hand, been exceptionally large, owing to £500 having been appropriated for build­ ing the Mission Bungalow at Hoshungabad; and nearly £1000 more than last year has been required for Madagascar, to provide School Buildings and materials, and Printing Office requisites.* The Treasurer’s account has been overdrawn during the whole of the year, at times as much as £1,500, and there is still, at the close of the year, a balance due to the Treasurer of £615. Satisfac­ tory as the increase in subscriptions undoubtedly is, it will be seen, that with annually increasing work, at least as large a sum, and probably an increasing one m il be required in this and future years. It is hoped therefore, that the amount of contributions will be fully kept up, and that efforts will be made to obtain new subscribers, so that in future the Treasurer’s account may be on a more thoroughly satisfactory basis. Joseph Storrs Fry, in writing to the Friend, pro­ * See the Madagascar Treasurer’s report for the year 1875, and explanation appended thereto, at pp. 41, 42. 0 posed that collections for Foreign Missions should be made annually at Friends’ Meeting Houses throughout the country, supplementary to the sub­ scription lists, and we commend this practical sug­ gestion to the attention of our meetings. Two thousand copies of the British and Foreign School Society’s Scripture Lessons, in the Sechuana language have been printed for South Africa. The edition was issued under the personal superintendence and revision of Dr. Moffat. These selections were originally compiled by Stephen Grrellet, and William Allen, and a similar edition was published in 1841 through the efforts of the late James Backhouse, and was highly appreciated by the missionaries and natives. Half the cost of the present edition has been defrayed by the Wesleyan Missionary Society. The Committee are now issuing a Monthly Illus­ trated Penny Periodical, called The Children's Mis­ sionary Paper, the circulation of which is already 2,500 per month. It gives the recent news from India and Madagascar, and a survey of other mis­ sionary effort well calculated to enlist the attention of children. A considerable number of First Day Schools have each contributed £5 or more, in response to the appeal of Henry E. Clark, for the support of native teachers. Some of the larger schools are support­ ing two or three such teachers in Madagascar at £5 each. This linking of Home and Foreign work will, we are sure, greatly encourage our dear friends in Madagascar, who have given themselves to the work, and who have left home and kindred and 10 position, that they may teach and preach Jesus Christ among the heathen, and among the thousands in Madagascar who have forsaken idolatry and are longing for the privileges of Christian instruction. MADAGASCAR. R eport of th e S ub-C om m ittee. O w in g to the fact that, at the time of the Annual Meeting, no letters had been received from Madagas­ car, of later date than December last, the Sub- Committee were not in a position to present at the time their usual Annual Report. More than usually important letters and minutes from Madagascar, have since been received, dated up to March 30th; and also the interesting reports of work from the several missionaries for 1875, which are appended hereto, and which we strongly commend to the careful perusal of the subscribers. They will be interested in finding among them, reports from “ Frank,” and “ Rasoa,” in whose education in this country, many friends took so much interest. To one point it is needful that we should make special reference :— It is not a surprise to us that our friend, J. S. Sewell, with somewhat failing strength, and owing also to domestic circumstances, has con­ cluded to return home. He is expected to arrive in the autumn. He had, some time ago, given up his work in the capital to other hands, and devoted him­ self chiefly to work in the country districts, and to the completion of a Malagasy dictionary, long in hand ; 11 and it was his intention, until recently, to move, for a year or two, to Mahatsinjo, a largish town near Lake Itasy, where he was very anxious that there should be a permanent, resident missionary, and where, it was hoped, S.

Its contributors have all been variously embedded in the cultural, intellectual and political life of the city over many years: they know of what they speak. Freedom—unlike poetry and prose—does not just happen anywhere. Indeed, it is the case that, although men may be born free, they are too often in chains. Freedom has to be won, sustained and protected. It is always at risk, the fact as well as the word. The argument of this irresistible volume is that, as a city and area, Hull has a proud and distinctive history of resisting forms of oppression, of using an angular independence of thought to challenge the orthodox and of fghting for principles and practical change. Why should this be so? The introduction suggests that it may have had something to do with Hull’s relative isolation and the space it affords for thought.

Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

M. Scarr, G.M., M.A. Saints as depicted on tiled mantle in Old Hall. Probably attributable to Burne-Jones. 2 Origin and Foundation Riots and strife in Oxford at the beginning of the thirteenth century drove masters and students from that City to towns in which they could teach and study in peace. Cambridge University owes its origin to the arrival of some of these refugees in Cambridge. Many continued to live and work in the town instead of returning to Oxford when, later, it was safe to do so. They were sufficient in number to create an attractive centre of teaching and learning and to lay the foundation of the reputation for scholarship which has prevailed throughout the centuries and ensured recognition of Cambridge University as a renowned institution of research and learning. The medieval university. At first students were unattached. Indeed, the medieval university was basically a guild of teachers, bound together for the purpose of teaching and the preservation of their rights and privileges granted under licence. Admission to their ranks was by proof of ability shown in public disputation and the award of the degree conferred the licence to teach. Students made their own arrangements for residence in the university town and the university was only concerned with some superintendence of their lodging and a care for public morals.

A knowledge of the conditions of his task should make the historian of Jesus take a modest view of its importance ; for, though the tree sprung from Alcock"s acorn has now grown to some size and not a little vigour, for the best part of its existence it was overshadowed by taller neighbours in the academic grove. In fact, except in some short periods of unwonted prosperity, Jesus was, until recent ' 1 times, emphatically a small college, low in revenues, and in numbers competing with Peterhouse and Magda- lene rather than with Caius or Christ's.

  • Apocalyptic Thought in John Henry Newman
    APOCALYPTIC THOUGHT IN JOHN HENRY NEWMAN: DISCERNING ANTICHRIST IN MODERNITY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Damon McGraw Cyril J. O’Regan, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana March 2014 © Copyright 2014 Damon McGraw APOCALYPTIC THOUGHT IN JOHN HENRY NEWMAN: DISCERNING ANTICHRIST IN MODERNITY Abstract by Damon McGraw This dissertation is the first full-length study of the apocalyptic thought of John Henry Newman (1801-1890). As such it fills lacunae in the fields of Newman scholarship and apocalyptic studies simply by showing that there is a significant amount of apocalyptic thought to be found in Newman’s writings and that he deserves to be recognized as an important figure in this Christian theological tradition. The dissertation also makes three larger contributions to scholarship. It addresses the perennial and unresolved question of Newman’s intellectual coherence and theological identity. It argues that attending to the role of apocalyptic narrative in his thought reveals a unique integrity and consistency in what otherwise appears to be a highly eclectic set of writings. It explains how apocalyptic thought provided a master narrative that oriented his life and work, the varied path of his religious and literary career, as well as the development of his mature mind. To scholars of apocalyptic thought this dissertation demonstrates that Newman was a fervent inheritor of the British Protestant apocalyptic tradition and that his efforts to renew and extend its narrative led to his realization of a distinctively modern Catholic apocalyptic perspective Damon McGraw as well as a profound conviction of the “secularizing” effects of the classically Protestant identification of the Pope as Antichrist.

He kept a diary for most of his adult life and filled various journals with his religious thoughts. Faced with a difficult decision he would set down both sides of the argument on paper. He wrote memoranda on different subjects, the most famous being his unfinished sketch of Pitt - but the sheer volume of his correspondence alone would have buried most men. He often wrote and received as many as twenty letters a day, and few of them were short. In addition to his own papers, two of his sons kept notes of his conversations in their commonplace books. Here, in Wilberforce: Slavery, Religion and Politics, Series One, Parts 1-3, we are able to make available a complete microfilm edition of the Wilberforce Papers from the Bodleian Library, Oxford. This project unites the separate collections of William Wilberforce’s sons, Robert and Samuel, enabling us to piece back together the Papers of William, Robert and Samuel.

The reduction has been effected, partly by the omission of some whole chapters, partly by excisions. The chapters omitted are those upon the Jacobites, the Essayists, Church Cries, and Sacred Poetry--subjects which have only a more or less incidental bearing on the Church history of the period. The passages excised are, for the most part, quotations, discursive reflections, explanatory notes, occasional repetitions, and, speaking generally, whatever could be removed without injury to the general purpose of the narrative.
