Book dossier

"The whole of this little essay was written in type, and most of it corrected for the press, before Cardinal Newman's death. I thought it better, considering the smallness of the space available for the treatment of so great a subject, to devote the main part of the book to the study of Dr. Newman's life before leaving the Anglican Church,- in other words, to the course of thought which led him to the Church of Rome,- and to compress the latter part of his career into a single long chapter. This seemed to me the best way of making a book of interest to the great majority of English readers. R.H.H."--
