Presentation copy: "From the Author". The "controversy" was the Oxford Movement. Sewell, of Exeter College, Oxford, had been friends with John Henry Newman up until Newman published (anonymously) Tract 90 (January 25, 1841), suggesting that the "39 Articles of Religion" of the Church of England were more in line with Catholic theology than Protestant. Sewell published many sermons and a severely anti-Catholic novel, "Hawkstone", 1845. He was the Oxford Don who ripped up and burned a copy of James Anthony Froude's "The Nemesis of Faith" (1849) when he was complaining to his class about the book and a student admitted to having one.
