Herbert Vaughan was born at Gloucester
In 1882 and was just over II years Of age.
He differed from Manning and Newman in
that he was born and bred Catholic in
stead Of being won over from the Church
OF England. He was educated at Story

and conseorated priest In 1854. He devoted
himself to education till his elevation TO a
bishopric. He founded the missionary
college at Mill Hill and In that kind Of work

Cardinal vaughan's health had been fail
ing for some time. Last February It was
thought necessary to give him a coadjutor.
The man selected was the Hon. Algernon
Charles Stanley, who at the time was Do
mesic Prelate and Prothonotary Apostolic
to the Pope and had lived for many years
at Rome. He IL likely to be Cardinal
Vaughan's successor, for he is OF noble
birth and his connections have great in

father was first cousin OF Dean Stanley Of
Westminster. His brother is the Hon.

lack OF diplomatic tact may be seen in the
conduct OF the English Catholics during

them. and which caused deep irritation
against the English in Italy, that was
allayed. in a measure, by the subsequent
