  John Henry Newman - LoveToKnow 1911
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN (1801-1890), English Cardinal, was born in London on the 21st of February 1801, the eldest son of John Newman, banker, of the firm of Ramsbottom, Newman and Co. The family was understood to be of Dutch extraction, and the name itself, spelt "Newmann" in an earlier generation, further suggests Hebrew origin.
At the age of seven Newman was sent to a private school conducted by Dr Nicholas at Ealing, where he was distinguished by diligence and good conduct, as also by a certain shyness and aloofness, taking no part in the school games.
But all this time (since 1841) Newman had been under a cloud, so far as concerned the great mass of cultivated Englishmen, and he was now awaiting an opportunity to vindicate his career; and in 1862 he began to prepare autobiographical and other memoranda for the purpose.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Henry Newman
Newman's first volume, "The Arians of the Fourth Century", is an undigested, but valuable and characteristic, treatise, wholly Alexandrian in tone, dealing with creeds and sects on the lines of the "Economy." As a history it fails; the manner is confused, the style a contrast to his later intensity and directness of expression.
Newman demanded proof; a correspondence ensued in which Kingsley referred to one of the Oxford Anglican sermons generally; he withdrew his charge in terms that left its injustice unreproved; and thus he brought on himself, in the pamphlet which his adversary published, one of the most cutting replies, ironical and pitiless, known to literature.
Newman's elevation, hailed by the English nation and by Catholics everywhere with unexampled enthusiasm, was rightly compared to that of Bessarion after the Council of Florence.

 Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: John Henry Newman
Newman proposed the view that the Church of England was not Protestant or Roman, rather it consisted in a middle way striking a balance between catholic unity (Episcopal Tradition) and doctrinal comprehensiveness (Prophetical Tradition in keeping with the spirit of the Patristic Period).
Newman makes the interesting observation that the perceived problem of a Catholic not being able to question his or her Creed is absurd since to be in doubt about it one would have to cease being Catholic (159).
Newman next takes up a long discussion of inferences in chapter eight the main point of which is that inference is conditional acceptance of a proposition (similar to a theorem) whereas assent is unconditional, absolute, and directed at an object which is true (209-269).

 Grand Arts: John Newman
Newman employs a cornucopia of materials and forms, colors and textures, and the means he devises of attaching and balancing his different components are almost as varied.
From the beginning, Newman's table-scale sculptures have profited from the fact that they are frequently based on drawings, a medium in which the artist is free to imagine structures without worrying about sculptural realities such as gravity and the tensile strength of his materials.
Newman may wittingly hint at themes of representation, gender and narrative, but overall his works are purposely quirky and hard to read, avoiding the oversimplified visual metaphor and thwarting quick conclusions.
