Time’s years are many, Eternity, one;
And One is the Infinite.
The chosen are few, few the deeds well done:
For scantness is still Heaven’s might.”

‘And with Froude, too, is to be associated much of the stress laid on personal discipline which so deeply marks the poems, and which was so congenial to both Newman and Keble…. All the heart of the men comes out in this cry for control, for austerity. It expressed their revolt against the glib and shallow tolerance of the popular religion, and the loose and boneless sentimentality of the prevailing Evangelicalism. They were determined to show that religion was a school of character, keen, serious, and real, which claimed not merely the feeling or the reason, but rather the entire manhood, so that every element and capacity were to be brought into subjection under the law of Christ, and to be governed in subordination to the supreme purpose of the Redemptive Will. No labour could be too minute or too precise, which was needful to bend the complete body of energies under the yoke of this dedicated service. Hurrell Froude’s diary, edited by Newman and Keble, startled the easy-going world of the Thirties by its exhibition of the thoroughness and the rigour and the precision with which this self-discipline had been carried out. Such a temper of mind was, of course, capable of becoming morbid, strained, unnatural. And in the hands of smaller men, it would rapidly show traces of this. But here, in the _Lyra_, it is still fresh and clean; and the men themselves who are under its austere fascination are so abounding in vitality, and so rich in personal distinction, and so abhorrent of anything pedantic or conventional, that the record of it cannot but brace us into wholesome alarm.’

[II. _From the Rev. H. C. Beeching’s Critical Note._]

‘Of the one hundred and seventy-nine pieces in the collected volume [_Lyra Apostolica_] (and all but two of those published in _The British Magazine_ were reprinted), Newman wrote one hundred and nine, Keble forty-six, Isaac Williams nine, Hurrell Froude eight, J. W. Bowden six, and R. I. Wilberforce one. To speak of the lesser contributions first. Robert Wilberforce’s single contribution is not particularly happy…. Mr. Bowden’s poems are not so infelicitous in substance, but they leave much to desire in other ways…. The contributions of Isaac Williams consist of a few translations and critical sonnets. Altogether of a higher stamp are the poems by Hurrell Froude. No one could accuse that fiery spirit of being commonplace; and perhaps because verse composition in English was not a constant exercise with him, the few poems he wrote for the _Lyra_ have a free grace, as well as a lyric intensity that removes them from the rank of the ordinary imitations of Keble. In XXXVI. [“Weakness of Nature”] he strikes a note that recalls Blake:

‘“Sackcloth is a girdle good:
O bind it round thee still!
Fasting, it is Angels’ food;
And Jesus loved the night-air chill.”

‘In the “Dialogue between the Old and New Self” (LXXIX.), he is an apt pupil of Andrew Marvell.

‘“NEW SELF.

Why sittest thou on that sea-girt rock,
With downward look and sadly-dreaming eye?
Playest thou beneath with Proteus’ flock,
Or with the far-bound sea-bird wouldst thou fly?

OLD SELF.

I list the splash, so clear and chill,
Of yon old fisher’s solitary oar;
I watch the waves, that rippling still,
Chase one another o’er the marble shore.”

‘He uses his fisher again, to give effect, in the poem on Tyre (CXXIX.):

‘“Now on that shore, a lonely quest,
Some dripping fisherman may rest,
Watching on rock or naked stone
His dark net spread before the sun;
Unconscious of the dooming lay.”

‘Froude’s sonnets are some of the best in the book: the one entitled “Sight against Faith” (CXXXVI.), supposed to be addressed to Lot by his sons-in-law, being an especially vivid piece of imagination.’

‘NEWMAN,’ by WILLIAM BARRY. (Literary Lives.) London: Hodder &
Stoughton, 1904.

& Stoughton.]

‘Keble was an elegant scholar, from whose rarely-opened lips pearls and diamonds of wisdom dropped, when listeners were congenial; he could not brook, as he did not understand, variety of opinions; and charming as he proved to all who would not contradict him, none was constitutionally less fitted to be at the head of a great party. His genius had in it no elements deserving the name of original thought. Rather did he serve Newman as the living embodiment of institutions now deemed Apostolic, and, so to speak, himself a present antiquity. He possessed none of those gifts which strike and subdue the unconverted. Hurrell Froude, the “bright and beautiful,” cut off in the midst of his days, was another sort of man. “He went forward,” says his brother Anthony, “taking the fences as they came, passing lightly over them all, and sweeping his friends along with them. He had the contempt of an intellectual aristocrat for private judgment.” This, which sounds like a bull, but is only a paradox, was equally applicable to Newman, despite his infinite consideration for persons as they came before him. The Many could be neither wise nor right, except when they listened to the Few who were both. It was Froude that made Newman and Keble really known to each other: he boasted of it as the one good thing he had ever done. It was certainly the most important. “You and Keble are the philosophers, and I the rhetorician,” wrote the Vicar of St. Mary’s to him in 1836. There was so much of a foundation in the contrast that Newman did always look to Froude as a standard, a test, and a light by which to judge of his own utterances…. But [Froude] disclaimed being original as other men have prided themselves upon it. Thoughts and speculations, nevertheless, were his daily bread…. Alone among Newman’s correspondents, he writes as his born equal, criticising freely, breaking out into the genial humour, so fresh and unconstrained, which lights up this all too serious intercourse of country parsons, London dignitaries, and unfledged Oxford dons.

* * * * *

‘When preaching on the Greatness and Littleness of Human Life, [Newman] refers secretly to this lofty spirit as among the men who, “by such passing flashes, like rays of the sun, and the darting lightning, give tokens of their immortality, … that they are but angels in disguise.”’[391]

From ‘THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THE LATE ROBERT SOUTHEY.’
Edited by his SON. London, 1850.

ROBERT SOUTHEY to the Rev. JOHN MILLER, July 21, 1838.

‘The publication of Froude’s _Remains_ is likely to do more harm than ――――[392] is capable of doing. “The Oxford School” has acted most unwisely in giving its sanction to such a deplorable example of mistaken zeal. Of the two extremes, the too little and the too much, the too little is that which is likely to produce the worst consequence to the individual, but the too much is more hurtful to the community; for it spreads, and rages, too, like a contagion.’

From ‘A KEY TO THE POPERY OF OXFORD,’ BY PETER MAURICE, B.D. London:
Baisler, 1838.

‘The volumes themselves [the _Remains_] are highly valuable to every practical student of the human character, because they exhibit an individual in his true colours, and afford evidences of what the human mind (even with all the advantages of natural talent and education) may be brought to, when not guided by the Light which is from above. They cannot but fill the heart of every true Christian with horror, and his eye with tears, when the reflection crosses the mind that views like these are held up as a religion of a meek and lowly Saviour, and that an influence such as that exerted over the wretched object of these memoirs should be permitted to draw away any poor sinner from that open Fountain of purity and holiness which is filled with joy, peace, and love, for all that humbly visit it. There are from time to time a few gleams of light faintly discernible amidst the dark confusion of the moral wilderness; but they are transient and unsatisfactory.’

From ‘MEMOIRS,’ by MARK PATTISON, late Rector of Lincoln College,
Oxford. London: Macmillan & Co., 1885.

‘John Belfield, a Devonshire man … god-fathered me. Belfield’s special chum [1831] was William Froude, the engineer, brother of Anthony, and of Richard Hurrell Froude at that time Fellow of the College. The opening thus made for me through William Froude to Richard Hurrell’s acquaintance might have been of inestimable use to me, had I been capable of profiting by it. But I was too childish and ignorant even to apprehend what it was that was thus placed within my reach. I spent one evening in Richard Hurrell’s rooms, without appreciating him myself, or appearing to him to be worth taking up.’

[From his Diary, March 17, 1838.]

‘_Evening._――Read a little of Froude’s “Journals.” They are most instructive to me; will exceedingly discredit Church principles, and show an amazing want of Christianity, so far. They are Henry Martyn un-Christianised.’

From ‘LETTERS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF JOHN HENRY NEWMAN,’ edited by
ANNE MOZLEY. London: Longmans, 1890.

‘Hurrell Froude passed away so early in the work of the Movement, and could work so little for it, that his actual share in it needs to be sought out through contemporary records. Little as his pen did, short as his life was, those who can recall the time feel the influence of his mere presence to have been essential to the original impulse which set all going. They cannot imagine the start without his forwarding, impelling look and voice. His presence impressed persons as a spiritual, though living, influence. He stands distinct, apart, in the memory of those who can recall it, the more that years[393] do not dim the brightness and fire which became him so well in his office as inspirer.’

From ‘CATHOLICISM, ROMAN AND ANGLICAN,’ BY A. M. FAIRBAIRN,
Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford. London: Hodder &
Stoughton, 1899.

‘The Romanticist tendency … was the positive factor in Anglo-Catholicism…. This gave the creative impulse; it was the spirit that quickened. The men in whom it took shape and found speech were three: Keble, Newman, Pusey. Perhaps we ought to name a fourth, Hurrell Froude: but he lives in Newman. He was the swiftest, most daring spirit of them all; his thought is hot, as it were, with the fever that shortened his days; his words are suffused as with a hectic flush; and we must judge him rather as one who moved men to achieve than by his own actual achievements.’

‘ST. PAUL’S, _Sept. 12, 1884_.
‘MY DEAR BLACHFORD,――… Sometime or other I shall have to
ask you for a little help; that is, if I go on with my
notion of having my say about the old Oxford days. One
thing that I should try to do is to bring out Froude. Of
course his time was cut short. But it seems to me that so
memorable a person ought to be duly had in remembrance;
and people now hardly recognise how much he had to do with
the first stir. But of course all my knowledge of him is
second-hand, or gathered from his books. He reminds me of
Pascal: his unflinchingness, his humour, his hatred of
humbug, his mathematical genius (architecture, and the
French-_révolutionnaire_), his imagination, his merciless
self-discipline. I should like to bring all this out, if,
as I suppose, it is true. I don’t suppose Pascal would
have loved the sea! He would have been “_seek_.”’

From LETTERS OF FREDERIC LORD BLACHFORD, UNDER-SEC. OF STATE
FOR THE COLONIES, 1860-1871. EDITED BY GEORGE EDEN MARINDIN.
London: Murray, 1896.

[By the kind permission of G. E. Marindin, Esq.]

‘[Hurrell Froude] was anything but “learned.” In lecture
he gave you the idea of not being, in knowledge, so very
much in advance of those whom he taught; but he had a fine
taste, a quick and piercing precision of thought, a
fertility and depth of reasoning, which stimulated a mind
which had any quickness and activity. He had an interest
in everything; he would draw with you, sail on the river
with you, talk philosophy or politics with you, ride over
fences with you, skate with you: all with a kind of joyous
enjoyment. Mischief seems to have been his snare as a boy,
and a controlled delight in what was on the edge of
mischief gave a kind of verve to his character as a man.
This made him charming to those whom he liked. But then he
did not choose to like any whom he did not respect; and he
could be as hard and sharp as you please on what he
thought bad, [_i.e._,] profane, vicious, or coxcombical.’

‘In Newman’s sermons and H. F.’s conversation, I found an
uncompromising devotion to religion, with discouragement
of anything like gushing profession … also a religion
which did not reject, but aspired to embody in itself, any
form of art and literature, poetry, philosophy, and even
science, which could be pressed into the service of
Christianity.’

title ‘The Lives of Whitfield and Froude: Oxford
Catholicism,’ in the _Edinburgh Review_, vol. lxvii., pp.
500-535: the issue for July, 1838. Rogers writes to Newman,
on October 4 of that year: ‘I was sorry to hear that your
friend Mr. Stephen of the Colonial Office was the author of
the article on Froude, though that is better than if it had
been a younger man. Doyle talked of it, and spoke of the
_Remains_ as having produced the impression of an unamiable
character!’ (_Letters of Lord Blachford_, edited by George
Eden Marindin, 1896, p. 51).

the new school is derived, in substance, from private notes

[323] [The leader in the Movement was Newman, but others
supported him.] Mr. Golightly has a similar statement,
tartly expressed in his _Correspondence Illustrative of the
Actual State of Oxford_, 1842: ‘Mr. Newman is the real
leader of the party, not Dr. Pusey, who is no more entitled
to give a name to it than Amerigo Vespucci was to give a
name to the New World. This is, of course, understood in
Oxford: but it is desirable that it should be known
elsewhere.’

[324] [This effort is alluded to in Froude’s _Remains_. I
cannot but think that Froude’s influence, which was very
great, was on many occasions exerted in a direction contrary
to mine. He has expressed his disapprobation of the only
Tract in the composition of which I was in any degree
concerned.] This is No. 15. See p. 194.

[328] Dean Church’s _History of the Oxford Movement_ is a
history of that Movement as bound up with its chief and
hero; and the scope of it extends but to the year 1845. What
Dr. Rigg takes to be the disproportionate space given to
Froude is therefore no disparagement to the operative
influence of Dr. Pusey, which may be said only to have
thoroughly begun by 1845.

[339] Newman writes to Mr. Williams from Abbotsford,
December 21, 1852, (_Autobiography of I. W._ London:
Longmans, 1892, p. 129): ‘You only say the truth when you
anticipate [that] I remember you tenderly in my prayers,
though you are, my dear Williams (if you will let me say it
in answer to what you say yourself) of “the straitest sect,”
and as a matter of duty, will not let Heaven smile upon
you.’

[340] The quite contrary statement in the _Apologia_ had not
then seen the light. If there was any written reference to
Our Lady, as seems probable, in Sermons or elsewhere in the
_Remains_, the Editors barred it out, doubtless for the same
reasons which so long kept Mr. Keble’s beautiful ‘Mother Out
of Sight’ from the public.

[342] Froude says the same thing to Newman, Jan., 1835. See

[343] The Rev. Hugh James Rose to Joshua Watson, Jan., 1838.
‘I think that review of Froude’ [_British Critic_ for that
month and year, as above] ‘the most to be regretted of
anything which I have seen of our Oxford friends. It shows a
disposition to find fault with our Church for not satisfying
the wants and demands, not of the human heart, but of the
imagination of enthusiastic and ascetic and morbid-minded
men. This no Church does or can do by any honest means. He
who has these desires may satisfy them himself. The mass of
men have them not. To quarrel with the Church [of England]
on this ground, is to show a resolution to quarrel with
her!’ _Lives of Twelve Good Men_, by John William Burgon,
B.D., late Dean of Chichester. London: Murray, 1861, p. 135.
Compare what Newman writes to Mr. Hope-Scott in reference to
monastic institutions, on Jan. 3, 1842: ‘Men want an outlet
for their devotional and penitential feelings; and if we do
not grant it, to a dead certainty they will go where they
can find it. This is the beginning and the end of the
matter.’ Ornsby’s _Memoir of James Robert Hope-Scott of
Abbotsford_. London: Murray, 1884, ii., 6.

thought of two, and two only, absolute and luminously
self-evident beings: myself and my Creator.’ _Apologia_,

[348] Newman. Dean Church says: ‘The idea of celibacy, in
those whom it affected in Oxford, was in the highest degree
a religious and romantic one.’ Froude would inevitably
translate ‘religious and romantic,’ as applied, however
truly, to Newman and himself, as ‘sawney.’

[355] In Isaac Williams’s extremely beautiful Πόθος (in
_Thoughts in Past Years_) he again says of Newman:

But urged by something that repose to flee,

* * * * *

Insatiate made from mere satiety.’

[356] In 1833, on Froude’s return from Italy.

[357] [I find that John Keble and others quite agree with me
that there was that in Hurrell Froude that he could not have
joined the Church of Rome.] There is a somewhat
corroborative passage in _A Short Sketch of the Tractarian
Upheaval_, by Thomas Leach, B.A. London: Bemrose & Sons,
1887. ‘It is possible, of course, as Dr. Newman would seem
to imply, that Froude would have gone over side by side, or
rather in advance of, his fellow-leader: for Froude was one
to be in advance generally of those with whom he journeyed.
On the other hand, we must give due weight to the fact that
Froude, as Dr. Newman himself tells us, was “an Englishman
to the backbone in his severe adherence to the real and the
concrete.”’ The inference, pleasing to some minds, is that
‘Rome’ is a mere chimera.

[358] The lines occur in the section of the book called ‘The
Side of the Hill.’ The needlessly prosy narrative is mainly
an amplification of a statement already quoted from the
_Autobiography_, and is included here purely because of the
subject-matter, and not because it can in any degree
represent with truth one of the most charming poets of his
generation.

[359] _Lyra Apostolica_, p. 149. The poem strangely
foreshadows Mr. Kipling’s ‘Recessional.’

[360] To Mr. Keble. ‘I cannot in fairness withdraw specimens
such as these of the view taken by my very dear friend of
Italy and its religion, though, of course, I leave them in
the text with much pain. He was a man who did nothing by
halves. He had cherished an ideal of the Holy See and the
Church of Rome partly erroneous, partly unreal, and was
greatly disappointed when, to his apprehension, it was not
fulfilled. He had expected to find a state of lofty sanctity
in Italian Catholics, which, he considered, was not only not
exemplified, but was even contradicted, in what he saw and
heard of them. As to the Tridentine definitions, he simply
looked at them as obstacles to the union of Anglicans with
the See of Rome, not having the theological knowledge
necessary for a judgement on their worth.’ Note to a Letter
addressed to the Rev. Godfrey Faussett, D.D., on Mr. R.
Hurrell Froude’s Statements Concerning the Holy Eucharist
and Other Matters, 1838, in _The Via Media of the Anglican

[371] Note by Cardinal Wiseman, 1853, in reprinting, after
fourteen years, his review of Froude’s _Remains in Essays on
Various Subjects_, ii., 93. ‘[It] remains marked, with
gratitude, in my mind, as an epoch in my life,――the visit
which Mr. Froude unexpectedly paid me, [at the English
College, Rome, March, 1833], in company with one [J. H. N.]
who never afterwards departed from my thoughts…. From that
hour I watched with intense interest and love the Movement
of which I then caught the first glimpse. My studies changed
their course, the bent of my mind was altered, in the strong
desire to co-operate in the new mercies of Providence.’ In
1841, he had written to Phillipps de Lisle: ‘Let us have an
influx of new blood, let us have but even a small number of
such men as write in the _Tracts_, so imbued with the spirit
of the early Church: men who have learned to teach from
Saint Augustine, to preach from Saint Chrysostom, and to
feel from Saint Bernard;――let even a few such men, with the
high clerical feeling which I believe them to possess, enter
fully into the spirit of the Catholic religion, and _we_
shall be speedily reformed, and England quickly converted….
It is not to you that I say this for the first time, for I
have long said it to those about me, that if the Oxford
divines enter the Church, we must be ready to fall into the
shade, and take up our position in the background. I will
gladly say to any of them: _me oportet minui_…. Their might,
in His, would be irresistible. Abuses would soon give way
before our united efforts, and many things which appear such
to them would perhaps be explained.’ The writer’s ‘intense
interest and love’ for the Movement never changed. _Life and

[381] Archdeacon Froude to Sir J. Coleridge, March 26, 1838:
‘Neither abroad nor at home, did I ever know [Hurrell] to be
the apologist of the Papal Church, much less hold it up to
approbation, except for its zeal and unity…. In our own,
Bishop Bull and the Nonjurors were, I think, the patterns he
proposed to himself for everything that was noble and
disinterested in temporal, and sound in doctrinal matters.
But I feel I am quite unable to explain or defend the
notions he had formed on these important subjects.’ _Memoir

[387] The preference for the style of the Italian
Renaissance came to be shared by other faithless Oxonians,
as all the world knows, particularly, for practical reasons,
by Newman, Faber, and the whole English Oratorian group. It
must seem a distinct note of impending degeneracy in Froude,
to those who have the heart to distrust him.

[388] A review of Froude’s _Remains_, part ii.

[389] The Rev. James Bowling Mozley had this criticism to
make on his brother’s article quoted above: ‘It gives too
much the impression of Froude as a philosopher simply,
instead of one who was constantly bringing his general
maxims to bear, most forcibly and pointedly, on the present
state of things; on particular classes, sects, and parties.
It does not bring out Froude’s great, practical, and almost
lawyer-like penetration.’ _Letters of the Rev. J. B.
Mozley_, p. 102.

[390] This nobly applied and famous motto is a happy
development or paraphrase. Achilles says only, it will be
remembered, that he has been altogether too long out of the
fight.
