A.P. Stanley : A Selection from the writings of Dean Stanley
I have done nothing but wade through Dean Stanley's Life this last week in the intervals of doing perfunctorily a little work in the mornings.

Arthur Penryn Stanley : Life of Thomas Arnold D.D, Headmaster of Rugby
As I have no people to tell you of, so have I very few books, and know nothing of what is stirring in the literary world. I have read the Life of Arnold of Rugby, who was a noble fellow; and the letters of Burke, which do not add to, or detract from, what I knew and liked in him before. I am meditating to begin Thucydides one day; perhaps this winter. . .

John Stanley : [a speech]
'a thousand thanks for [your letter], and for Sir John Stanley's speech, which I like very much, though I own I think he gives a little into commonplace towards the end, when he says the French Revolution would never have happened if so and so - forgetting that the unfortunate sovereign under whom it did happen was religious, moral, and virtuous to the highest degree, solely attached to his own wife, - and it was an old observation that a wife, a Queen's having any influence over her husband was a thing the French at no time could bear' [LS critiques various other points of the speech at length]

John Stanley : [a speech]
'There is a part of Sir John's speech I think quite beautiful, that which describes the sensation of vacancy; and his waiving any observations of a political nature is extremely judicious.'

Stanley : Jewish Church
'As Charles Schreiber's condition appeared to grow worse instead of better [following voyage to South Africa recommended by doctors, and stay at Wynberg] a move to Ceres was recommended, and just before Christmas they settled there [...] Lady Charlotte read to him a great deal as they sat out in front of the house. The books she chose included the Pickwick Papers, Stanley's Jewish Church, Green's History of England and Junius' Letters.'
