19993All three items from 1853. Harington's letter from Brasenose College Oxford. Jones's circular letter from Cathedral Commission 1 Parliament Street Whitehall London. Three items in fair condition lightly aged and worn. Harington's 28-page letter is a significant assessment by a senior member of the university of the situation in the period immediately preceding the Oxford University Act of 1854. ONE: Signed Autograph Copy of Letter from 'Richd Harington' to 'The Rev. R. Jones'. Brasenose College Oxford. 28pp. foolscap 8vo. On seven bifoliums of grey paper. Deletions and emendations throughout. Writing in response to Item Two below Harington offers his own 'observations' 'under the impression that the Commissioners desire to collect the individual opinions of Members of this University'. He begins: 'Besides the instruction supplied to all the Undergraduates by the Tutors of their respective Colleges the special provision for Theological teaching in the University comprises the Regius and Margaret Professorships of Divinity and the recently founded Professorships of Pastoral Theology of Ecclesiastical History and of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture to which may be added the Regius Professorship of Hebrew. These Institutions would I apprehend be considered by most persons as sufficient to supply to those who are in a condition to avail themselves of the means of instruction which they afford all that is wanted for the preparation of Candidates for Holy Orders and if full advantage be taken of them nothing more would seem to be required for the assistance of Theological Students in the University.' Later he refers to 'the extensive and powerful Machinery for the training of Students in Theology which is in actual operation in this University'. He proceeds to discuss what he sees as the failure of the 'Voluntary Examination in Theology' introduced by the University in 1842 concluding that 'the paucity of the candidates who have presented themselves for the examination proves nothing but that in general they have been indifferent to the personal distinction of passing such an ordeal'. He considers the question whether 'the recent and growing extension of Theological Study in this University may be ascribed as its voluntary character would seem to indicate to an increased and increasing desire on the part of candidates for Holy Orders to qualify themselves for the more efficient discharge of their sacred function'. Another question dealt with by Harington is whether 'Bishops have been disinclined to enforce attendance on the course of Theological Study indicated by the Statute of 1842 on account of the additional residence at Oxford which such attendance would require'. Other topics include 'the systematic training of Theological Students in the University'; 'University Professorships' and 'the Theological ability and learning of the Church of England'; whether 'the Universities are in a condition to furnish a guarantee for uniformity in religious teaching which probably could not be obtained from an aggregate of Cathedral Colleges'; the 'Constitution of the Universities'; whether the universities are 'too exclusively exponents of the principle of Stability'; the views of the Rev. C. Herbert Rector of Burslem on 'clerical education'; 'the standard of public opinion among he Students' in 'a great University'; the 'value and importance of an Academical degree'; 'those whose circumstances have hitherto excluded them from participation in the benefits of an education at the University'; whether 'the institution of Theological Colleges in Cathedral Churches would be the best means of improving the training and education of the future Clergy'; and the possibility of requiring 'each Chapter … to provide in proportion to the magnitude of its resources a certain number of Theological Scholarships or Exhibitions to be held at any College in either University by Students of a certain standing'. TWO: Printed circular letter signed by 'Rd. Jones' Secretary Cathedral Commission Whitehall. 29 June 1853. 1p. foolscap 8vo. On forwarding 'a copy of the Commission' i.e. Item Three below Jones has been instructed by the commissioners to request 'the opinion and advice of your University on the following subject. Two of the Canonries of Christ Church having been annexed in the reign of King Charles 1st. to Professorships devoted to the promotion of Theological learning to which three more have been added recently one of them with especial reference to the duties of the Pastoral Office; - The Commissioners are desirous of ascertaining the opinion of the University and of the Professors as to whether the Theological lectures in the University may be considered as supplying all that is wanted for the preparation of Candidates for Holy Orders or whether it will be desirable to institute Theological Colleges in connexion with some of the Cathedral Churches.' THREE: Printed copy of the 'Commission for Inquiring into the State of the Cathedral and Collegiate Churches in England and Wales and matters connected therewith.' Signed in type by 'S. H. Walpole.' 3pp. foolscap 8vo. Bifolium on grey paper. In small pseudo-copperplate type headed with the name 'Victoria R.' beneath the royal coat of arms.

Note: No other copies of the prinetd items have yet been traced COPAC etc. All three items from 1853. Harington's letter from Brasenose College, Oxford.

251227 February 1896. London: 242 Portsdown Road W. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. Aged worn and with spots of discoloration. 106 lines in a truly execrable hand. The following reading is tentative. The recipient is not named and the letter is signed ‘T. Outram Marshall’. The letter begins: ‘My dear Sir / I also read the letters in the Guardian very carefully’. There follow references to ‘the argument of a pamphlet as to the Teaching of Holy Scripture’. The third paragraph begins: ‘But to my mind the words of the Council of Arles are evidence that in 314 the Bps. there assembled believed just what our Petitioner says.’ He quotes a Latin test and discusses it. There are three long numbered objections. and three assertions are given of which ‘We are convinced’. He discusses what is the case ‘If “the High Ch. Party†is not content with the Scripture & the existing Laws of the English & whole western Ch’. He is glad that the recipient does not agree on one point ‘with the Bp. of London’ ‘But if you do not - what remains - you say the husband of this unfaithful wife - has permission to marry again - then it follows that he has permission to dissolve the bond which till he desides to do so - has not been broken. This is a wholly new theory which as yet no Bp. East or West has fulfilled. / Forgive my writing this - I want to shew you how very insecure is your foothold’. 7 February 1896.

18608Ewelme Rectory. 21 July 1846. 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition. Addressed to 'R. Bentley Esq'. Having explained that the delay in replying is due to his absence from Oxford during the vacation he turns to Bentley's proposal. 'I am much flattered by your applying to me under the high recommendation which you state for the work in question. And I cannot but admire your spirit in desiring that a work of that kind should go forth to the world under your auspices. I only wish I had time & ability to execute it in the manner which you justly observe it ought to be written - so as fully to meet the statements & arguments which it is designed to answer & yet be popular in its character.' Unfortunately his 'present engagements will not admit of my turning my mind into this track of study' those engagements having been 'expressly postponed to this period of comparative leisure'. It is possible that Bentley's invitation related to the Oxford Movement Newman having been received into the Roman Catholic Church in the previous year. Ewelme Rectory. 21 July 1846. unknown
18640The first from 'The Palace' Hereford 3 November 1856. The second from Eaton Place London 15 March 1865. The first letter 4pp. 12mo with cross writing on frist page and the second 3pp. 12mo. Both bifoliums. The second letter with its envelope with penny red and postmarks addressed by Dickson to 'Travers Twiss Esq D. C. L. No. 19 Park Lane London'. Both items in good condition lightly aged and worn. The first letter concerns Dr Edward Thompson Vicar of Kington who has been complained about by his curate 'Mr. Clelan' resulting in a report in a newspaper. Dickson writes: 'Kington you may remember rejoices in the notorious Dr. Thompson for its Incumbent through an ill-fated exchange to whch. in my ignorance on my first coming to the See I consented. The present Curate however Mr. Clelan is a very respectable man and I consider myself fortunate in having a man there who appears to do his duty in the Parish & to be acceptable to the people. What the particular occurrence is on whch the difficulty about which he consults occurred I am not aware not habing seen the Hereford newspaper containing the Report or reference to it.' He continues discussing the matter with reference to 'Mr. Parry . who busies himself much for the good of Kington & has establish sic a library for the inhabitants & compiled a memoir of the place.' The second letter begins: 'I am informed through a letter of Mr. Dunning addressed to Mr. Evans that Mr. Reed has written to the ABp. Archbishop complaining that the requirement of the Act respecting the notice to be given to the Ch. Warden of the Parish & Registrar of the <> as to the removing of the revocation of the License both from the Parish Registry & the Diocesan has not been complied with.' He gives more details and asks for Twiss's 'opinion as to this point' commenting: 'In this case it does seem a hardship to be obliged to stultify oneself by so formally condemning one's previous act.' A postscript refers to 'a report at Leominster that Mr. Reed has had the influence of a lady of the name of Parnell a connexion of the AB.p in his favour - & that this Lady supports the man with supplies of money. Probably she has been a patient of his in London at some time.' The first from 'The Palace' [ Hereford ], 3 November 1856. The second from Eaton Place [ London ], 15 March 1865. unknown
