Here Newsome recounts the story of the Wilberforces and Manning, from its early hopes to its tragic, interpersonal dissolution. Foreword by Robert Runcie, former Archbishop of Canterbury. Illustrations.

Masterpiece from the author, Henry Edward Cardinal Manning on the four Truths that are the four corners of his faith: "Some years ago, being for many days on a journey without work or books, I thought that it might be a fair time to write down, in fewest words, the reasons for what I believe. The thoughts were written as the crow flies, over wide lands and a long flight, without deviation from the straight line. Much was, therefore, omitted that might be said, but the continuity and coherence of the reasoning were my only aim. They who will do more solidly what I have done so slightly will deserve and receive my thanks. The text remains as it was written. The references have been since added." The Appendix contains "A Brief History of the Life of Henry Edward Manning" which provides a background on the reasons why Manning became a convert of the Catholic Faith.
