Selections from the Prose Writings of John Henry Cardinal Newman
For the Use of Schools
This school edition, published in 1906, gathers passages from the prose of John Henry Newman, the Anglican clergyman who became a Catholic and a cardinal, and whose style was held up as a model of English. The selections begin with character sketches of Saul, the young David, Basil and Gregory, Augustine and the Vandals, and John Chrysostom, followed by Newman's historical essays on the Tartars, the Turks and the Ottomans. A group on universities includes What Is a University? and pieces on student life in ancient Athens, the Schoolmen and Abelard. The volume closes with his essay on poetry and Aristotle's Poetics and sermons such as The Second Spring.
