Newman

Newman, Francis William, author of Phases of Faith, and younger brother of Cardinal Newman, was born in 1805. He gained a double first at Oxford, but in 1830 resigned his Balliol fellowship from conscientious motives, and travelled in the East for several years. In 1846 he was appointed professor of Latin in London University, and held that post for seventeen years. Chief among his numerous writings are: The Soul: its Sorrows and Aspirations (1849), Phases of Faith (1850), Theism: Doctrinal and Practical (1858), A Dictionary of-Modern Arabic (1871), and several classical translations and ether works in various departments of learning. He died in 1897.
