CHAPTER III[18]

RICHARD HURRELL FROUDE

The names of those who took the lead in this movement are familiar—­Keble, Newman, Pusey, Hugh James Rose, William Palmer.  Much has been written about them by friends and enemies, and also by one of themselves, and any special notice of them is not to the purpose of the present narrative.  But besides these, there were men who are now almost forgotten, but who at the time interested their contemporaries, because they were supposed to represent in a marked way the spirit and character of the movement, or to have exercised influence upon it.  They ought not to be overlooked in an account of it.  One of them has been already mentioned, Mr. Hurrell Froude.  Two others were Mr. Isaac Williams and Mr. Charles Marriott.  They were all three of them men whom those who knew them could never forget—­could never cease to admire and love.

Hurrell Froude soon passed away before the brunt of the fighting came.  His name is associated with Mr. Newman and Mr. Keble, but it is little more than a name to those who now talk of the origin of the movement.  Yet all who remember him agree in assigning to him an importance as great as that of any, in that little knot of men whose thoughts and whose courage gave birth to it.

Richard Hurrell Froude was born in 1803, and was thus two years younger than Mr. Newman, who was born in 1801.  He went to Eton, and in 1821 to Oriel, where he was a pupil of Mr. Keble, and where he was elected Fellow, along with Robert Wilberforce, at Easter 1826.  He was College Tutor from 1827 to 1830, having Mr. Newman and R. Wilberforce for colleagues.  His health failed in 1831 and led to much absence in warm climates.  He went with Mr. Newman to the south of Europe in 1832-33, and was with him at Rome.  The next two winters, with the intervening year, he spent in the West Indies.  Early in 1836 he died at Dartington—­his birthplace.  He was at the Hadleigh meeting, in July 1833, when the foundations of the movement were laid; he went abroad that winter, and was not much in England afterwards.  It was through correspondence that he kept up his intercourse with his friends.
