Footnote 3, Introduction, of the author's Hebrew and Hellene in Victorian England: Newman, Arnold, and Pater, which University of Texas Press published in 1969. It appears in the Victorian web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.
Robert L. Peters (Victorians on Literature and Art, p. 56) suggests interestingly that in such a passage Newman "was supplying, though unwittingly, a rationale for the Cyrenaicism of Pater and the aesthetes." But surely he is misleading when he states that Newman "equated the scholar's 'beauty of intellect' with the artist's 'beauty of feature and form,' the poet's 'beauty of mind,' and the preacher's 'beauty of grace'": the main point of Newman's passage is that "Every thing has its own perfection ... and the perfection of one is not the perfection of another."
