UNEDITED UK REVIEW: ""Review from previous edition It is a massive, superbly edited collection, one that impressively reveals the range and continuity of Newman's correspondence.""--Thought UNEDITED UK REVIEW: ""The Letters themselves will never be superseded as biography and portrait. It is wonderful to live with Newman day by day and almost hour by hour. The character there revealed is so consistent, the words so inevitable, the narrative so vivid, there is no greyness as of printed pages but everywhere life and colour.""--The Heythrop Journal ""A ready criterion to bring to these recently discovered letters is to ask, 'So what's new?'. . . We learn a few things. . . but we gain much more from the exhaustive scholarship of Francis McGrath, whose footnotes to the letters and whose 150 pages of appendices make this concluding volume to the entire series a bookshelf treasure trove."" --The Thomist
