* F W Newman was the brother of Cardinal Newman. It has been stated that F W Newman was Professor of Mathematics at University College, London, but inquiries at University College show that this must be a mistake; he was, as Mr. Lewin correctly remarks, Professor of Latin there, and though he may occasionally have given lectures in mathematics, there seems to be no record of his ever having done so. Basil Willey’s excellent essay in More Nineteenth Century Studies does not link Newman’s excursions into mathematics with his curious theological pilgrimages.
