<p><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>JAMES MARTINEAU <BR><BR></span></b><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Arial;text-transform:uppercase'>“Jonathan Edwards has ceased to have domination over me”</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family: Arial;text-transform:uppercase'><BR><BR></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>(1805-1900). English Unitarian theologian; professor of mental and moral philosophy; author of Rationale of Religious Inquiry (1836), A Study of Religion (1888), etc. Collection of two ALsS, 12mo, London and The Pulchur, Rothiemurches, Abiemort, Oct 13, 1871—Sep 25, 1882. Both to English poet <b>Roden Noel</b> (1834-1894) on imprinted letterhead. Excellent philosophical and critical content. The first responds at length to “such questions as your paper treats” and reveals the evolution of his personal beliefs. “...Jonathan Edwards has ceased to have domination over me, as he had in earlier days: for I too was once—though not a Calvinist, a Neceparian of the most rigorous type: and though a deepening experience changed me before mid-life, I owe a great debt to the...school in which I was trained. In the field of Nature, if that were all, I should be a Pantheist. But human life and moral experience bring me home to Theism again, softened however & glorified in its effect by the other hemisphere of thought...” Much more. In his second letter, Martineau praises a volume of Noel’s poetry, Child’s Monument. “...At last however I have given myself to it; read and re-read it, - till it has become almost a part of me. For many of its poems I shall be forever grateful to you: they speak to me more intimately than anything else since Tennyson’s ‘In Memoriam’’ and that their tones are tenderer and more trustful than his, renders them more congenial with my mood. The pathetic interest of such a volume might seem to put too great a strain upon the sympathy of the reader, and to require more intervals of relief. But to me the gems of the collection are just the pieces most directly inspired by the image of that sweet child...” Much more. Few ink splotches on last page of first letter, one touching two letters of signature; else VG.</span></p>
