	Alexander Penrose Forbes, by William Perry
		Forbes left Haileybury at the age of nineteen, a tall, slimly built young man with dark curly hair, the dreamy, penetrating eyes of his ancestor, Lord Pitsligo, a nose with the faintest of bridges upon it, a smiling mouth with lips which could be firm and determined at will, and a dimple in his chin.
		Forbes read the Tract, and was convinced that Newman was right and his judges wrong, though he never imagined that it would fall to him twenty-six years later to write a fully documented treatise on the same subject from a similar point of view.
		Forbes became a "Puseyite" in a deeper sense than the word connoted in Oxford at the time, but a Puseyite with a sense of humour and proportion, who could poke fun at the pious attitudes which the Oxford Movement produced in some of its less balanced undergraduates.
