TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

WILLIAM MONSELL, M.P., = ETC., ETC. [Note]

MY DEAR MONSELL,
I seem to have some claim for asking = leave of you=20 to prefix your name to the following small Volume, since it is a = memorial=20 of work done in a country which you so dearly love, and in behalf = of an=20 undertaking in which you feel so deep an interest.

Nor do I venture on the step without some hope that it is = worthy of=20 your acceptance, at least on account of those portions of it which = have=20 already received the approbation of the learned men to whom they = were=20 addressed, and which have been printed at their desire.

But, even though there were nothing to recommend it except that = it came=20 from me, I know well that you would kindly welcome it as a token = of the=20 truth and constancy with which I am,
MY = DEAR MONSELL,
Yours very=20 affectionately,
JOHN H. NEWMAN.

[November. 1858.]

{245} IT has been the fortune of the = author through=20 life, that the Volumes which he has published have grown for the = most part=20 out of the duties which lay upon him, or out of the circumstances = of the=20 moment. Rarely has he been master of his own studies.

The present collection of Lectures and Essays, written by him = while=20 Rector of the Catholic University of Ireland, is certainly not an=20 exception to this remark. Rather, it requires the above = consideration to=20 be kept in view, as an apology for the want of keeping which is = apparent=20 between its separate portions, some of them being written for = public=20 delivery, others with the privileged freedom of anonymous=20 compositions.

However, whatever be the inconvenience which such varieties in = tone and=20 character may involve, the author cannot affect any compunction = for having=20 pursued the illustration of one and the same important = subject-matter,=20 with which he had been put in charge, by such methods, graver or = lighter,=20 so that they were lawful, as successively came to his hand.
