toll tho whole truth. as we'll as nothing but tn
truth. and thus to enable posterity to form a jus
and accurate conception Of remark able men. Ii
this notice we conhne ourselves to tina
part Of the book which has drawn
forth unfriendly criticism. the first volume
namely. which deals with the first part Of Car
dinal Manning's life. which ended at the age o
forty -four, In the resignation of his enoluments
diRnities. and prospects In the Church of Eng
land and his admission to the Church of Rome
It is of course well understood that the peculiar
bitterness with which Mannings secession was
for . long time. regarded, was duo to the fact
that he had been a resolute champion OF the
Anglican communion against the deep injuries
inflicted by the earlier withdrawal Of u still
moro eminent divine. John Henry Newman. who

Henry Edward Manning was born at Copped
Hall, Tottridge. Hertfordshirc. on July Is.
1907. He was the youngest son Of William
Manning. NJ. p. who. like his father before him.
was opulent London merchant, for the most
part occupied with tho West Indian trade.
William Manning had two daughters by a first
marriage. and by second eight children, OF
whom Henry Edward was the youngest.
Strangely enough, when we consider tho career
lay of nearly two years in his baptism. which
was performed on May %. 1909. in the Church
OF st. Martin-in.the-F Fields. London, by the
Bishop of Bath Wells The early years OF
the future Cardinal were spent in his fathers

Bank, near SunbrldGe. Kent. The eight years
which the boy spent at Tottr;dCe left a
deep and abiding impression upon his heart and
mind. Here his mother taught him to read
English ont of a book called THE Ladder to
Learning" and she also began to teach him
Latin grammar when he was six or seven. He
speaks in autobiographical note Of his
mothers having given him, before he went to
school, a diamond New Testament, and says:
81 remember that devoured the Apocalypse,
and never, all through my life, forgot tho
'lake that burneth with fire and brimstone.'
Thnt verso has kept me like an audible voice
through all my life. and through worlds Of dam
ger In my youth" In his tenth year QslO
Henry Manning was sent to school at
Streatham. Kept by clergyman OF
tho old sort, but here. owing to illness. he
remained only two years. In 1920. when he was
13years old. he was removed to a school at Tot
fridge where boys were prepared for West
minister. but here again he scarcely spent two
years. for he left in 1921. 1t is not surprising
that, Oh going to Harrow in 1892, the 1rag-
mentary character OF his education put him at
. great disadvantage. His contemporaries at
