Newton 1642–1727 natural philosopher and mathematician had been elected a fellow of Trinity College Cambridge in 1667 and Lucastrian professor of mathematics in 1669. Those positions combined with income from his estate made him both financially secure and almost free from prescribed duties. His great researches on optics were the first fruits of that freedom. However at the same time he became an earnest student of both alchemy and of theology. His surviving manuscripts show that in the latter field he reached firstly an anti-Trinitarian or Arian position which developed into an even more radical position which saw Jesus as merely the latest of a series of prophets sent by God to reclaim mankind from false gods a position Newton developed in the 1680s in the unpublished manuscript of "his most important theological composition 'Theologiae gentilis origines philosophicae' 'The philosophical origins of gentile theology'" O.D.N.B. Such opinions were completely unacceptable to contemporary society and Newton realising that they would have undermined his position kept them a closely guarded secret but in later life he revisited the treatise and "thoroughly purged it became his 'Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended' 1728. The original treatise he kept to himself . When he died his heirs found the completed manuscript of the Chronology which they immediately sold to a publisher for £350" O.D.N.B. and the book was published shortly thereafter. The book was distributed in Dublin by Smith and Bruce. John Smith an Ulster Presbyterian whose radical activities had led to his expulsion from Glasgow University in 1722 came to Dublin in 1724 where with the sympathetically minded William Smith and later William Bruce he established a book-selling business. They were notable for their intellectual and continental connections they were cousins of the philosopher Francis Hutcheson and their publication of works challenging conventional opinions. E. Hudson is probably Edward Hudson 1703 ca. - 1757 of Ardee Co. Louth who having entered Trinity College in 1722 aged 19 became a Fellow in 1728 the year of publication of this book. He was later Rector of Omagh. The signature on the title page may be that of Rev. George Thomas Payne 1819-1888 of Kilkenny who had entered T.C.D. in 1833. Printed for J. Tonson, J. Osborn, and T. Longman; and sold by Messieurs Smith and Bruce Booksellers on the Blind Key in Dublin hardcover

[Commonplace Book] [Spirituality] Frances Phoebe NewtonBiblio.com

Religious and literary commonplace book of a young woman

18675032England 1867. Full sheep embossed in blind with gilt to front board measuring 200 x 160mm and comprised of 155 manuscript pages. A gift inscription to the front pastedown reads "Frances Phoebe Newton A Present from her Mother Mrs. A. Morley. July 31st 1841." On the first page Phoebe has created a formal title page: "Phoebe Newton's Album. July 31st 1841." A dense and research-rich piece in which a young woman documents her reading from a variety of sources including collections of poetry popular magazines and circulars church sermons and oral stories within her community. Potential projects include but are not limited to Victorian reading practices women's reading the intersection of popular and evangelical literatures genealogy and paleaography. Within her commonplace book Phoebe gravitates toward poetry and short anecdotes in which the narrating voice calmly uses rhetoric and logic to undermine non-believers or convert doubters. Her faith is the underlying basis for each selection -- even when celebrating a royal marriage or waxing on Queen Victoria's leadership. Early selections such as Doctor Watts and Collins the Freethinker focus on how Christians unshaken in their faith can lead by calm example responding to criticism or even outright scorn by gesturing to the value of their interior relationship to God rather than to any external possessions. Doctor Watts for example responds to a coffeehouse stranger's "contempt at his diminutive appearance" with a short verse concluding "I must be measured by my soul -- The mind's the standard of the man." Similarly Collins the Freethinker "once met a plain countryman going to church" and attempted to confound him by asking about God's size. The countryman's participation in the dialogue -- and his embrace of contradiction -- impress and convert the Freethinker. "He is so great that the heaven of heaven cannot contain Him; and so little that He can dwell in my heart." In this sense Phoebe reveals in addition to her evangelical beliefs an attraction to literary realism. Rather than gravitating to soaring sentimentalism and romance the works gathered here often rely on dialogue and daily settings presenting a realistic world with idealized social outcomes. Phoebe's selections come from a variety of sources which speaks to the array of material she had contact with. Some uncredited pieces appear to be stories from sermons or overheard among family. Many include Victorian writers such as Cowper and Toplady. Still others come from popular regional magazines such as the Norfolk Chronicle and the Gospel Standard. More work could be done to identify where she and her family resided and what schooling she had access to. Additional work could be done on at least one other hand in the book several times signed John Newton and potentially her husband given that her mother Mrs. Morley gifts her the book under the name Newton. unknown

Christian Correspondent

17901230921790. First Edition. NEWTON John. The Christian Correspondent; or A Series of Religious Letters Written by The Rev. John Newton to Captain Alexr. Clunie From the Year 1761 to the Death of the Latter in 1770. Hull: Printed by George Prince 1790. Octavo modern half olive cloth black morocco spine labels. $1200.First edition of the collected 18th-century letters between John Newton a slaveship master and born-again Christian to Alexander Clunie a fellow slaveship captain and Newton's Christian mentor.The Rev. John Newton was born into a sailing family. His father was a shipmaster in the Mediterranean. While Newton's mother raised him as a Christian she died when he was just six years old. Newton spent a few years in boarding school before joining his father at sea. While Newton was slated to become a slave master at a Jamaican sugar plantation he was forced into naval service. After attempting to desert and surviving a brutal court marshal Newton went to work in the slave trade. While he found Christianity in 1748 after nearly dying in a storm at sea he remained an active slave shipmaster. ""In the summer of 1750 Newton began another slaving expedition this time as master of the Duke of Argyle Throughout this voyage and the next as master of the African Newton felt no scruples about slave trading seeing it as the work marked out for him by Providence though he admits to his horror at slavery's brutal accoutrements and his prayer that in God's own time he would receive a more humane calling one that would keep him in regular communion with other Christians perhaps a reflection of his new friendship with Alexander Clunie whom he met when the African called at St. Kitts. Clunie a fellow ship master and believer convinced Newton of the importance of the fellowship of believers and of his security in the covenant of grace. In 1790 their long-term friendship ultimately resulted in the publication of The Christian Correspondent a collection of letters they exchanged over the years"" mainly dealing with Christianity and family life Encyclopedia of Christian Literature 489. In the time between the writing and publication of these letters a great deal changed in Newton's life. Following a series of strokes in 1854 that forced him to leave the seafaring life Newton reconsidered his association with slavery. He acknowledged the damage that it wreaked on a person's humanity and began to view it as fundamentally opposed to Christian beliefs. In the final years of his life he became an ardent abolitionist. He wrote extensively on the subjectas he had on all subjects throughout his lifeand counted Wilberforce among his closest friends. ESTC T18631.
