Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From the Prose and Poetry of John Henry Newman
IN the beginning of this little book of selections from the works of Cardinal Newman, it is best that I should avoid misunderstanding by saying that it is not intended for per sons who have already studied them and expect new and even subtle illumination. It is intended for those younger students who ought to begin to consider English style in the light of an art as soon as they begin to write. It is intended, too, for those and there are many - who admire Newman while they think that they are too busy to read his most important books. To the latter this volume may serve as a practical introduction to a new world; but too much in that way must not be expected of it it cannot supply the place of the culture without which the reader must miss some of the strongest and finest qualities of Newman's substance and style; and he who comes to it to complete an education not yet begun, will of course be disappointed.
