he churches built under his authority were mostly in Italian styles. [11] "William George Ward and the Oxford Movement," London, 1889, pp. 153-55. [12] "Recollections," p. 309. [13] Frederick William Faber, one of the Oxford men who went over with Newman in 1845, and became Superior of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, was a religious poet of some distinction. A collection of his hymns was published in 1862. [14] "Ritterzeit und Ritterwesen." [15] See vol. i., pp. 221-26. [16] Vol. i., p. 44 (ed. 1846). [17] _Ibid._, pp. 315-16. [18] _Ibid._, p. 350. [19] See vol. i., chap. vii., "The Gothic Revival." [20] A view of Fonthill Abbey, as it appeared in 1822, is given in Fergusson's "History of Modern Architecture," vol. ii., p. 98 (third ed.). [21] For Scott's influence on Gothic see Eastlake's "Gothic Revival," pp. 112-16. A typical instance of this castellated style in America was the old New York University in Washington Square, built in the thirties. This is the "Chrysalis College" which Theodore Winthrop ridicules in "Cecil Dreeme" for its "mock-Gothic" pepper-box turrets, and "deciduous plaster." Fan traceries in plaster and window traceries in cast iron were abominations of this period. [22] _Vide supra_, p. 153. [23] "A blast from the icy jaws of Reason, the wolf Fenris of the Teutonic mind, swept one and all into the Limbo of oblivion--that sole ante-chamber spared by Protestantism in spoiling Purgatory. Perhaps this was necessary and inevitable. If we would repair the column, we must cut away the ivy that clings around the shaft, the flowers and brushwood that conceal the base; but it does not follow that, when the repairs are completed, we should isolate it in a desert,--that the flowers and brushwood should not be allowed to grow up and caress it as before" (vol. ii., p. 380, second ed.). [24] Vol. ii., p. 364, _note_; and _vide supra_, p. 152. [25] _Ibid._, p. 289. [26] _Vide supra_, p. 34. [27] _Ibid._, p. 286, _note_. [28] "Stones of Venice," vol. ii., p. 295 (American ed. 1860). [29] _Ibid._, vol. iii., p. 213. [30] _Ibid._, vol. ii., pp. 109-14. [31] See the final instalment of "Praeterita" for an extended eulogy of Scott's verse and prose. [32] "I know what white, what purple fritillaries The grassy harvest of the river-fields Above by Ensham, down by Sandford, yields." --Matthew Arnold, "Thyrsis." [33] "Stones of Venice,"
