man, Dr. Pusey did not join the latter in his 

 secession to the Roman obedience in 1846, but 

 remained in his place in the Church of Eng- 

 land. Possessing wealth and its advantages, 

 he gave his best energies to the guiding the 

 Anglo-Catholic revival. The success of this 

 great movement, which is patent to all observ- 

 ers, was largely due to Dr. Pusey's high and de- 

 served reputation for piety, purity of purpose, 

 and learning; and the strength of the High 

 Anglican or Ritualistic party in England is 

 now greater than it has ever been since Arch- 

 bishop Laud's and the non-jurors' days. Dr. 

 Pusey was not only a diligent student, but also 

 published a large number of volumes during 

 his long connection with the University of Ox- 

 ford. He was one of the editors of the " Libra- 

 ry of Translations from the Fathers," and of 

 the "Anglo-Catholic Library," and adapted for 

 use among English Church people a number 

 of Roman Catholic books of devotion, such as 

 Scupoli's "Spiritual Combat," Surin's "Foun- 

 dations of Spiritual Life," St. Anselm's " Pray- 

 ers and Meditations," etc. His chief publica- 

 tions were : " Causes of Rationalistic Character 



of Theology in Germany" (1828); "Remarks 

 on the Benefits of Cathedral Institutions" 

 (1833); "Parochial Sermons" (3 vols., 1848- 

 '69); "Marriage with a Deceased "Wife's Sis- 

 ter " (1849) ; " The Royal Supremacy not ar- 

 bitrary," etc. (1850); "The Doctrine of the 

 Real Presence, as contained in the Fathers " 

 (1855) ; " The Real Presence the Doctrine of 

 the English Church" (1857) ; " History of the 

 Councils of the Church, A. D. 51-381 " (1857); 

 "The Minor Prophets, with Commentary," 

 etc. (1860-'62) ; " Letter on the Essays and 

 Reviews " (1861) ; " Daniel the Prophet," nine 

 lectures (1864); "The Church of England a 

 Portion of Christ's one Holy Catholic Church, 

 and a Means of restoring Visible Unity, an 

 Eirenicon," a letter addressed to John Keble, 

 and in reply to Manning's letter to Pusey 

 (1865); "A Letter justifying holding Confes- 

 sions for Forty Years past " (1878) ; " What is 

 of Faith as to Everlasting Punishment? In 

 reply to Dr. Farrar's Challenge, in his ' Eter- 

 nal Hope'" (1880); and "Parochial and Ca- 

 thedral Sermons " (1882), collected and issued 

 just before his death.
