  James Martineau - LoveToKnow 1911
JAMES MARTINEAU (1805-1900), English philosopher and divine, was born at Norwich on the 21st of April 1805, the seventh child of Thomas Martineau and Elizabeth Rankin, the sixth, his senior by almost three years, being his sister Harriet (see above).
Martineau, who was in his youth denied the benefit of a university education, yet in his age found famous universities eager to confer upon him their highest distinctions.
Martineau's theory of the religious society or church was that of an idealist rather than of a statesman or practical politician.

 The Martineau Society
James Martineau was the seventh child and youngest son of Thomas, a textile merchant of Norwich Huguenot descent, and his wife Elizabeth Rankin, who came from Newcastle.
James was now at the height of his powers and his life inextricably involved with Unitarian affairs nationally - the Dissenters' Chapels Act, the opening of the universities to dissenters without doctrinal tests, and the decision to remove Manchester College to London (associated with UCL) where in due course he became principal 1869-85, president -87.
James was always a devoted family man, and as soon as it could be afforded, took them all (including in due course two daughters-in-law and a son-in-law) on holiday together to Scotland, where a house near Aviemore became their annual base.

 James Martineau
James Martineau (April 21, 1805-January 11, 1900) was a Unitarian minister and educator, and a widely influential theologian and philosopher.
James said his childhood was not happy, due to the "well-meant yet persecuting sport" of his older brothers and rough treatment at Norwich Grammar School.
Martineau helped to invent "the open trust myth," according to which "English Presbyterians" had put their meeting houses and funds in trust for the worship of Almighty God alone, without requirements of creed and confessions of faith.

 Untitled Document
James Martineau was not only an outstanding theologian and philosopher of the nineteenth century, but was also a good, pious and devout man with a keen sense of humour.
Martineau was able to disseminate this particular emphasis on the spiritual union of man with God throughout Unitarianism in several ways: through hymn books, his published prayers, and sermons, and in his promotion of gothic church architecture, which he felt was conducive to the religion of the Spirit that he was trying to encourage.
Martineau, Thom, Tayler and Wicksteed, like the members of the Oxford Movement, were affected by the Romanticism of the nineteenth century; they too had been influenced by Scott who had found a new world in the old world, and by Wordsworth who had found an equally new world in the beauty of nature.

 Harriet Martineau - Life and Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Her brother James had by then been sent off for formal education at the Unitarian college at York, later to become Manchester College, Oxford, which he was one day to head as principal, but Harriet remained at home, as women did.
Visiting James in his parish in Dublin she hit upon the idea of a series of tales to illustrate the concepts of political economy in which she had newly become interested.
This belief was for Martineau progressive, enlightening, practical, and satisfying, and provided the equivalent of religious fulfillment, although she did not literally see it as a religion as Comte eventually did.

 Harriet Martineau
Martineau enjoyed a radically unconventional career for a Victorian woman, and seems to have done so with little resistence from the rest of society - by the sheer strength of her own indomitable will.
Thanks to this success, Martineau was called in to advise Parliament from time to time, and enjoyed (or suffered) the process of "lionizing," whereby a host serves up renowned figures to his or her guests to be ogled and admired.
Martineau's next big project, financed by the political economy series, was a voyage to America that she turned into the book Society in America, an exploration of American social and political life.

 Harriet Martineau (1802 - 1876), Society in America Women's History Month 2003 by Sunshine for Women
Miss Martineau has herself ascribed her taste for literary pursuits to the delicacy of her health in childhood, and to her deafness, which, without being complete, has obliged her to seek occupations and pleasures within herself; and also to the affection which subsisted between her and her brother, the Rev. James.
Miss Martineau is remarkable for her power of portraying what she sees; she revels in the beauties of landscape, and has a wonderful command of language.
Miss Martineau has indeed become weak, because she has deserted this tower of strength—"faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;" and bowed down her noble nature to worship reason unenlightened by revelation, an idol set up by the "feebleness, waywardness, and willfulness" of men.
