Excerpt: ... worship, compared with which every heathen, pagan, or barbaric conception of God is simple and rational. The Almighty evidently invites us in Nature and in Revelation. We obstruct the approaches to Him with a tremendous artifice of theological engineering. Our children ask for nourishment according to their years, and from their infancy we force into their mouth a dreadful mass of stone, scorpion, and viper--an impossible creed, to be swallowed at peril of eternal damnation. CHAPTER LXXXIII. MR. GEORGE SPENCER. Mr. George Spencer was a considerable factor in my education, and consequently of my being. I owe to him much for good or for ill--more, I hope and believe, for good than for ill. I must attempt to do justice to him, though I cannot expect quite to satisfy his son, or even myself, or, after that confession, my readers. He was a tall, spare, upright figure, more decidedly good-looking than my clerical friend James Dean, of about the same build, with the tight-fitting blue frock-coat of the period. With the advantage of such a figure and of an equable movement, he could not appear in a street without everybody in it becoming immediately sensible of the fact. We used to set him down as the same age as my mother, which would make him about thirty-five at the time of our first acquaintance. He had been then long engaged in giving private lessons to families in writing, arithmetic, and mathematics. There was a very great want of educational means in those days, as appears from the fact of Mr. Higginson, one of the leading members of Derby society, teaching writing and arithmetic, without mathematics, but with the smallest possible modicum of Latin. Mr. Spencer gave his lessons at most of the good houses in the town and neighbourhood. Mrs. Samuel Rickards...

Excerpt from Reminiscences, Vol. 2 of 2: Chiefly of Towns, Villages and Schools I have headed the chapter 'The Waylands,' because it would be really quite preposterous to place the husband at the head of the concern, and it would never have done to put the lady. Mrs. Wayland became, indeed, the most intimate lady friend of the Mozley family for half her own life, and from my own boyhood to middle age; but Mr. Wayland preceded and long survived her. Daniel Sheppard Wayland must have been from infancy, what he continued to be when a bundle of old bones holding together at all sorts of angles, a most interesting character. Disposed as I am to strike against fluency, suavity, and even sweetness with no acidity in it, I always felt it a pleasure to be in his society - a pleasure and a profit too. I suppose he was from Somersetshire, for I think his second name was derived from the well-known family in the Frome district.

Excerpt from Reminiscences, Vol. 1 of 2: Chiefly of Towns, Villages and Schools I went much too young, and learnt nothing till I got under Russell; but, with one or two exceptions, the teaching power was below par - after your time there were two very able men, Churton and Boone. I was in Penny's house. Dobson and the two Venables, my seniors there, were talented fellows. Thackeray also was there 3 but, singularly enough, never gave any early indication of his after celebrity.

Mozley was born at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, the son of a bookseller and publisher.
Oriel College.
In 1831 he was ordained, after which he became curate of Colchester, leaving a year later to take over the rectorship of Moreton Pinkney. He asked to leave four years later and in 1836 became rector of Cholderton, Wiltshire. From the beginning, Mozley was a strong supporter of the movement.
After contributing for some time to the British Critic, its periodical, Mozley succeeded Newman as editor in July 1841.
Newman, however, strongly advised him to take two years to reflect, and Mozley decided to remain an Anglican. In 1844 he began to write leading articles for The Times, and continued to do so regularly for many years.
In 1847 Mozley resigned his country living and settled in London. In 1868 he accepted the living of Plymtree in Devon.
Mozley published his Letters From Rome, from 1869 to 1870, covering the convening of Vatican I. From 1876-1880 he was rural dean of Ottery Street Mary, Devon.
He retired in 1880, and moved to Cheltenham, where he died.
