The book is authored by Sieveking and Giberne and is a collection of Newman’s personal memoirs and letters.The book begins with a brief introduction to Newman’s life and accomplishments, followed by a series of letters that he wrote to his family and friends. These letters provide a glimpse into Newman’s personal life, his struggles, and his achievements.The memoir section of the book is a detailed account of Newman’s life, starting from his childhood and early education to his later years as a prominent scholar and author. The memoirs cover various aspects of Newman’s life, including his religious beliefs, his academic pursuits, his family life, and his social and political views.Throughout the book, Sieveking and Giberne provide insightful commentary and analysis of Newman’s life and work, offering readers a deeper understanding of his contributions to theology, philosophy, and literature. The Memoir and Letters of Francis W. Newman is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of this remarkable scholar and author.People have said that Newman gave up all worldly hopes of fame for the sake of this missionary venture. It may be that that is true in part. But, for myself, I cannot help seeing too that there may very well have been other powerful reasons which also influenced him in the matter. It was about this time that he asked my aunt, Maria Rosina Giberne, to whom he was passionately attached, to marry him, and was refused. I think it very probable that this may have been a strong reason why he wished to break up the old life and go for change abroad.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
