Description: "Newman was told that Catholic priests do not read sermons. But this did not mean that he made them up as he went along. He planned his Catholic sermons as meticulously as he did his famous Parochial and Plain, but he committed them to memory and then he made notes afterwards. He did this for thirty years and they provide some fascinating insights into his ever active mind and the range of subjects he covered within the framework of the Church's liturgical year.

James Mozley, writing in 1846, said "A sermon of Mr. Newman's enters into our feelings, ideas, modes of viewing things. Persons look into Mr. Newman's sermons and see their own thoughts in them." Unpublished for ninety years, Sermon Notes shows Newman's brilliant mind at work."--BOOK JACKET.
