CONVERTS TO ROME A LIST OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND PROTESTANTS WHO HAVE RECENTLY BECOME KOMAN CATHOLICS. COMPILED BY W. GORDON GORMAN, EDITOR OF THE TWO LAST EDITIONS OF "ROME'S RECRUITS." SECOND im^mT^^^mll EDITION. LONDON : AY. SWAN SONNENSCHEIN AND CO., PATERNOSTER SQUARE. 1885. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. the CONSIDERING the reception which has been accorded to " new issue of Converts to Eome," and bearing in mind the comments of the Press, 1 think it necessary to make a few observations on points which will interest my readers. As several reviewers, notably those connected with Dissenting Organs, have been under the impression that I have been honoured by the assistance of the Premier in the compilation of my work, it will be as well to state that the following of the letter, written by Mr. Gladstone to the late Editor Whitehall Review, has been the sole cause why the right honourable gentleman's name appears in my preface : "Hawarden, Oct. 11, 1878. " DP;AR SIR, " I thank you for sending me the Whitehall Review with the various lists of secessions to the Koman Church. I am glad they have been collected, and I am further glad to hear they are to be published in the form of a pamphlet. For good, according to some, or for evil, according to others, they form as a group an event of much interest and significance. "It would very greatly add to the value of the coming pamphlet, if an approximate statement of dates could be made part of it. To give the year in each case would probably be difficult it difficult to decades 1 very ; but would be give Say IV PKEFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. from 1820 or 1830. Even to divide yet more largely would still be useful ; as thus : 1. Before 1840. 2. 18401860. 3. Since 'I860. "You will, I am sure, excuse this suggestion, and again accept my thanks. " I remain, " Yours very faithfully, "W. E. GLADSTONE." I regret to find that the following names inadvertently appeared in the lists : Rev. S. W. Wayte, B.D., late President of Trinity College, Oxford. General Brine, K.E. D. C. Lathbury, Esq., Brasenose Coll., Oxon. J. O. Halliwell-Phillips, Esq. The late Lucius Kelly, Esq., Barrister. These gentlemen have not joined the Catholic Church, and my apologies are due to them for being the unwilling medium of propagating that which was not correct. The name of Lady Chichester should not have been given, as I am informed by a near relative of her ladyship that the " family never deserted the Old Faith." A doubt which I confess to having at first entertained as to the propriety of giving publicity to a spiritual change, of which the world took little note, has long since proved, I am glad to say, to be without foundation. Not one letter of an objecting nature has reached on the yet me ; contrary, publicity has been courted with a frankness which speaks well for the con- stancy, the self-respect, and even enthusiasm of the con- verts. In a critique which appeared in the columns of the Record PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. V it was stated that the converts from Koine to Protestantism greatly outnumbered my list. Xow I have a brochure entitled, " Protestant Recruits," compiled by Montagu Eussell Butler, " Esq. The little work gives the names of 420 Converts to Protestantism" from all parts of the habitable globe, but I beg leave to question whether one half of the number have really become Protestants. Had I acted on the suggestions of some, and had given a list embracing all members of society, I should have had to publish a volume which for dimensions would have favourably " compared with the Post-Office Directory," a task from which, I think, I have wisely shrunk. My main object has been to " issue a work which, according to the Christian Globe, gives one a startling view of the rapid advancement which Roman late Catholicism has made of years in certain quarters ;" and the " Christian says, A glance through its pages will astonish some people who doubt the increase of Popery in these days." In justice to myself, I have to state that I had nothing to do " with the early editions of Rome's Recruits." Most of the inaccuracies, I find, have occurred in those editions, therefore I am not answerable for them. At the same time, I must say, in all fairness to the late editor of the Whitehall Review, that it was that gentleman's great desire to have the lists most scrupulously accurate. I have been enabled to add new names to this edition many ; have obtained dates of conversion, and have corrected a few orthographical errors. Some who have taken a great interest in my work would have been glad to be able to ascertain from what denomination each convert has been recruited, and the individual cause of to the Roman Church to submitting ; but with regard these matters, I can only add that the necessary information would be most difficult to procure. In conclusion, it will be found by a cursory inspection of the that there is lists, hardly a single English noble family that has not given one or more of its members to the Roman VI PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

    "ROME'S RECRUITS" a Hist of PROTESTANTS WHO HAVE BECOME CATHOLICS SINCE THE TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT. Re-printed, with numerous additions and corrections, from " J^HE ^HITEHALL j^EYIEW" Of September 28th, October 5th, 12th, and 19th, 1878. ->♦<- PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF " THE WHITEHALL REVIEW." And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

The salutations and valedictions have been reproduced as they appear in the originals, but the dates when the letters were sent have been standardised and placed immediately after the headers. Due to the time it took for letters from England to reach Scotland, Lord James Ramsay had already sent Lady Susan Hay three before she joined the correspondence. This time lapse, and the fact that thereafter they started writing to each other on a more or less daily basis, makes it impossible to arrange the letters sensibly in order of reply. They have instead been arranged chronologically, with the number of the reply (where it can be identified) added to the notes appended to each letter.

  • Utilitarianism in the Age of Enlightenment

    Utilitarianism in the Age of Enlightenment

    UTILITARIANISM IN THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT This is the first book-length study of one of the most influential traditions in eighteenth-century Anglophone moral and political thought, ‘theological utilitarianism’. Niall O’Flaherty charts its devel- opment from its formulation by Anglican disciples of Locke in the 1730s to its culmination in William Paley’s work. Few works of moral and political thought had such a profound impact on political dis- course as Paley’s Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy (1785). His arguments were at the forefront of debates about the constitution, the judicial system, slavery and poverty. By placing Paley’s moral thought in the context of theological debate, this book establishes his genuine commitment to a worldly theology and to a programme of human advancement. It thus raises serious doubts about histories which treat the Enlightenment as an entirely secular enterprise, as well as those which see English thought as being markedly out of step with wider European intellectual developments. niall o’flaherty is a Lecturer in the History of European Political Thought at King’s College London. His research focuses on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century moral, political and religious thought in Britain. He has published articles on William Paley and Thomas Robert Malthus, and is currently writing a book entitled Malthus and the Discovery of Poverty. ideas in context Edited by David Armitage, Richard Bourke, Jennifer Pitts and John Robertson The books in this series will discuss the emergence of intellectual traditions and of related new disciplines. The procedures, aims and vocabularies that were generated will be set in the context of the alternatives available within the contemporary frameworks of ideas and institutions.

The following Sketches — for they pretend to little more than the word imports — were, at the time they were penned, thrown off without any intention of seeking for literary fame as the result of their publication. I entreat my readers to bear this in remem brance. The earlier ones appeared in a legal weekly periodical at the end of last year, and were received with some favour by many of its readers. I was subsequently advised to collect them in a separate form, to re-cast, and to enlarge them, as better adapted for more general circulation and perusal. This I have now done, and have added perhaps the more attractive feature to the Essays — Photographic Portraits of the eminent men upon whose lives and talents I have thus ventured to comment.
