Besides the works already mentioned Cardinal
Newman was The author Of IAN Essay In AID
OF Grammar OF Assent" a treatise on faith and
reason; "Discourses on the Nature ana WORK
| OF Universities" and other educational treatises
and many sermons. He was also the author Oi
several admirable poems and hymns, among the
latter of which Is Lead Kindly Light" His
writings are noted for the beauty OF their style
and the purity OF their English as well as 1or
their phiosophic treatment OF all subjects. his
circumstances placed him for time In the van
OF religious movement, but his vocation was
always that OF teacher, influencing Individuals,
rather than that OF the leader OF a movement.
The opposition TO liberalism, which had been
strong in Oxford from 1888 to 1S46, lost It's ini'
portance after his withdrawal.
