Excerpt from Hawkstone a Tale of and for England in 184, Vol. 2 of 2 The sun was streaming in through the lattice, when Bentley awoke to a full consciousness of what had passed in that frightful night. As he threw his eyes round the little low whitewashed room in which he lay, he could recognise nothing as familiar to him; but it was clean and decent. The pallet on which he was stretched was furnished with a white curtain; a deal table at the side contained a bottle and glass, and some linen, which seemed intended to be used in dressing his wound; and his clothes had been carefully folded and arranged on an old worsted-worked chair at the foot of the bed. There were also on the walls some coarse coloured prints representing saints, and one of the Blessed Virgin with the Infant Saviour in her arms; and a roughly-carved crucifix of bone was placed over the chimney; and lying on the bed, turned down so as to mark the place, was a volume, which Bentley took up, and found it to be a book of Roman Catholic devotion - "the Hours of the Blessed Virgin."

Excerpt from Hawkstone, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of and for England in 1845 "Neither was this in use only with the Hebrews, but it is generally to be found in the wisdom of the more ancient times - that as men found out any observation that they thought was good for life, they would gather and express it in parable, or aphorism, or fable. But for fables, they were vicegerents and supplies, where examples failed: now that the times abound with history, the aim is better when the mark is alive.

He was educated at Winchester and Merton College, Oxford, was elected a fellow of Exeter College in 1827, and from 1831-1853 was a tutor there.
From 1836-1841 he was White's Professor of Moral Philosophy. When, however, in 1849, JA Froude published his Nemesis of Faith, Sewell denounced the wickedness of the book to his class, and, when one of his pupils confessed to the possession of a copy, seized it, tore it to pieces, and threw it in the fire. In 1843 he, with some friends, founded at Rathfarnham, near Dublin, St Columba's College, designed to be a sort of Irish Eton, and in 1847 helped to found Radley College.
Sewell's intention was that each of these schools should be conducted on strict High Church principles. He was originally himself one of the managers of St Columba, and later the third Warden of Radley, but his business management was not successful in either case, and his personal responsibility for the debts contracted by Radley caused the sequestration of his Oxford fellowship. In 1862 his financial difficulties compelled him to leave England for Germany, and he did not return till 1870.
