 Item
Identifier: CANY I-1-d

Scope and Contents

Arnold answers Murray's questions: 1. Kenelm H. Digby, born 1800, was so far Irish that his father was the Protestant dean of Clonfert; but he imagines he was of the same family to which Sir Everard and Sir Kenelm belonged. 2. Arnold was born in 1823, and besides writing the "Manual", has edited "Henry of Huntington" as well as "Addison: Reflections from the Spectator". 3. Father John D. Dalgairns of the Oratory died in 1879. 4. George O. Trevelyan was born in 1838. 5. Sir E.L. Creasy is to be found in Allibone, he was a Kent man; dates 1812 and about 1877. 6. Algernon C. Swinburne is certainly not a Catholic; his sympathies are rather with Nihilism. 7. If by William Allingham, Murray means the present editor of Fraser's Magazine, he is not a Catholic. They hope the Catholic Dictionary will be ready before the end of the year. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
