(Sir Geoffrey Faber's Oxford Apostles, a character study o...)
Sir Geoffrey Faber's Oxford Apostles, a character study of the Oxford Movement, is not, in the usual sense of the word, a 'religious' book. It is primarily an attempt to understand and to explain a deeply interesting crisis in the history of ideas, by a study of personalities. The central figure in this study is Newman, whose life is traced in detail up to the point of his conversion to Roman Catholicism. Round him are grouped a number of other men, whose careers and characters are presented with equal vividness - Keble, Pusey, Froude, Whatley, Blance White, Hampden and many others of lesser significance. The author combines these various life-stories with great skill into a single dramatic and moving form; and his expositions of the ecclesiastical and political background of early nineteenth-century Oxford, and of the general characteristics of the movement, hold the reader's attention. First published in 1933 this remains an authoritative work.

Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) , pronounced to rhyme with 'know it', although never debunked as such by Lytton Strachey was nothing if not an Eminent Victorian: English scholar, classicist and theologian, and Master of Balliol College. First published in 1957, Geoffrey Faber's biography still holds its own. To quote from some of the original reviews: 'Sir Geoffrey Faber is admirably equipped for his task ... In an urbane prose he reveals intimacy with the background, command of detail, psychological acumen and sympathy with his subject. I hope that this long book may prove as popular as his ''Oxford Apostles'' to which it forms a complement'. Raymond Mortimer, Sunday Times ' ... this fine biography ... filled with some fascinating by-paths of Oxford history, but never losing sight of the strange, imperious bachelor who forms its theme ... Sir Geoffrey places all serious students of the Victorian age deeply in his debt'. Roger Fulford, Manchester Guardian

Nevertheless, advantage has been taken of the opportunity trevise very carefully both the language and the matter of the book. Correspondents and Clitics having pointed out inaccuracies of more or less importance in the iirst edition, suitable corrections and emendations have been made. I am under obligations toM r. C. J. Monro, M.A., of Barnet, and toM r. W. H. Brewer, M.A., one of Her Majesty sI nspectors of Schools, for numerous corrections. A mong several additions which have been made to the text, I may mention the abstract (p. 143) of Professor Clifford sremarkable investigation into the number of types of compound statement involving four classes of objects. This inquiry carries forward the inverse logical problem described in the preceding sections. A gain, the need of some better logical method than the old Barbara Celarent, c., is strikingly shown by Mr. Venn slogical problem, described at p. 90, A great number of condidates .

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
