Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from John Henry Newman Articles and Letters
Presently the tottering and uneven steps of an old man were heard in the corridor; then the servant opened the glass door and I stood in the presence of Cardinal N ew man, the 'greatest living man who speaks the; English language, and one of the first scholars of this or any former age. The Cardinal wore an ordinary priests cap of scarlet, a plain black cassock with a coarse red cincture Without fringe, low shoes with buckles, and scarlet stockings. The simple manner and the kind words of the Cardinal. Made me feel quite at home. I looked at him closely, Without, however, staring at him, and noticed he was greatly stooped, and had lost all his upper teeth; but an abundance of white hair still remains and fringes a brow truly Grecian, which rises in beautiful proportion over a pair of quiet blue eyes which have lost none of that brightness of immortal youth which belongs only to the good and great. I shall never forget the face.
