Father W. Lockhart in his Life of Rosmini asserts in a note that Dr. Orestes A. Brownson towards the end of his life rejected the Philosophy of Gioberti and turned to that of Rosmini. Hennessy informed Father Lockhart of his error, but the latter replied that Dr. William Channing, son of the distinguished William Ellery Channing, had been told to study Rosmini, who, he said, had the true philosophy. Hennessy wrote again to Father Lockhart, quoting some of Dr. Brownson's refutations of Rosmini, and his reply was to ask to hear from someone who knew Dr. Brownson up to his last years and who would know whether he ever changed his attitude towards Rosmini. Therefore Brownson is asked to send Hennessy a few lines on the subject, which may be sent to Father Lookhart to be used in his next edition to correct his error. Hennessy is anxiously awaiting volume 20 of Brownson's Works, and asks when Brownson will begin to write his father's life. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
