Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forty Years Controversy, And, the Fourth Estate
But 'nard did not need to go into print to make public his opinions. A brilliant and an irrepressible talker, he quickly enough made known the thoughts which stirred within him. When Mr. Mozley wrote to tell Cardinal Newman that he was going to publish the Reminiscences, and that the Cardinal's name was naturally a constantly recurring one, his Eminence wrote back to his brother-in-law to express a hope that nothing would creep into the volume to wound the feelings _of any one, or to stir - what he above all things dreaded - controversy. Now, what Cardinal Newman dreaded, mr.-vvard loved and preferred. He was in his element when he was in war-paint. A book may be as great an event as a battle, says a great authority _and Mr. Ward must have been very happy when he found that his book was a battle-field, and one of the most sanguinary that has ever been fought. \ve do not propose to place before the reader any full account of the volume for a more competent pen must undertake that task. But a glance at the subsequent proceedings, of which we are now celebrating the fortieth anniversary, may be taken.
