	Newman Reader - Essays Critical & Historical I - Selina, Countess
		Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, being the second daughter of Washington, Earl Ferrers, was noble both by birth and marriage; and it will not be the fault of her biographers, if posterity is not fully aware of this fact.
		For, notwithstanding the early appearance of piety in Lady Huntingdon, it is evident she continued for many years a perfect stranger to the true nature of that Gospel which is the power of God to every one that believes.
		Lady Huntingdon was far from being the only person of her own rank on whom, in that languid and dreary time, the freshness and earnestness of the Methodist movement exerted an influence.

	Selina Countess of Huntingdon by Faith Cook, BOT, £19
		Faith Cook is well-known as a chronicler of the lives and times of Christian worthies of the past and her biography of Selina Countess of Huntington has been eagerly awaited.
		In Mrs Cook’s appendix on the Countess’ biographers, Seymour is accused of inaccuracy, over-deferential regard for aristocracy, fusing events and even letters, relying on the Countess’ copyist instead of originals, not being able to read her ladyship’s writing, being in the infancy of biography in the modern sense etc..
		Mrs Cook further criticises Seymour for making the Countess more than she really was, giving as her sole example Seymour’s comment that his "illustrious subject of the present memoir was an example of piety, benevolence and zeal." What is lacking, however, in Mrs Cook’s criticism is solid, scholarly evidence that her stricture are valid.

		Closely involved for nearly forty years with the leaders of the revival, she gave herself unstintingly to the cause of Christ, contributing sacrificially to the construction of sixty-four chapels, the opening of many more, and the founding of Trevecca College in Wales.
		She introduces the reader to a gallery of eighteenth-century personalities, among whom the Countess secured an entrance for the gospel through the powerful preaching of such men as George Whitefield, William Romaine and John Fletcher.
		This major new biography not only rescues the Countess from undeserved obscurity and misrepresentation, but also shows what God can accomplish through the tireless labours of a godly woman whose heart's desire was that the "dear Lamb of God, my best, my eternal, my only Friend should have all dedicated to his service and glory".

		The Countess’ modest wish to be forgotten epitomises much of what made her so endearing and useful to the church of her time.
		Faith Cook explains how the Countess must be understood in the context of her age; her exalted position and temperament made it too easy for her to be the boss.
		Ashby was the centre of ‘prophesyings’ and the Church of England was in the mainstream of the reformed churches, with strong links with continental churches.
