[371] Note by Cardinal Wiseman, 1853, in reprinting, after fourteen years, his review of Froude’s _Remains in Essays on Various Subjects_, ii., 93. ‘[It] remains marked, with gratitude, in my mind, as an epoch in my life,――the visit which Mr. Froude unexpectedly paid me, [at the English College, Rome, March, 1833], in company with one [J. H. N.] who never afterwards departed from my thoughts…. From that hour I watched with intense interest and love the Movement of which I then caught the first glimpse. My studies changed their course, the bent of my mind was altered, in the strong desire to co-operate in the new mercies of Providence.’ In 1841, he had written to Phillipps de Lisle: ‘Let us have an influx of new blood, let us have but even a small number of such men as write in the _Tracts_, so imbued with the spirit of the early Church: men who have learned to teach from Saint Augustine, to preach from Saint Chrysostom, and to feel from Saint Bernard;――let even a few such men, with the high clerical feeling which I believe them to possess, enter fully into the spirit of the Catholic religion, and _we_ shall be speedily reformed, and England quickly converted…. It is not to you that I say this for the first time, for I have long said it to those about me, that if the Oxford divines enter the Church, we must be ready to fall into the shade, and take up our position in the background. I will gladly say to any of them: _me oportet minui_…. Their might, in His, would be irresistible. Abuses would soon give way before our united efforts, and many things which appear such to them would perhaps be explained.’ The writer’s ‘intense interest and love’ for the Movement never changed. _Life and Letters of Ambrose Phillipps de Lisle_, by Edmund Sheridan Purcell.

[378] The following correspondence arose out of an article contributed in June, 1878, by Mr. J. A. Froude to _The Nineteenth Century_, vol. i. It was entitled ‘Life and Times of Thomas Becket.’ It was founded upon _Materials for the History of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury_, edited by James Craigie Robertson, Canon of Canterbury, and published under the direction of the Master of the Rolls, 1877. Mr. Froude, in reprinting his essay in _Short Studies on Great Subjects_, 4th Series, 1883, withdrew the passage which Mr. Freeman had made the text of his remarks.
