CHAPTER XVIII

1841-1842.
Mr. Hope's Pamphlet on the Jerusalem Bishopric--His Value for the Canon Law--Continued Correspondence of Mr. Hope and Mr. Newman on the Jerusalem Bishopric--Mr. Newman's Idea of a Monastery--Mr. Newman writes from Littlemore, April 22, 1842--Dr. Pusey consults Mr. Hope on his Letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury--Dr. Pusey and the Jerusalem Bishopric-- Letters of Archdeacon Manning, Mr. W. Palmer, Sir John T. Coleridge, Sir F. Palgrave, Bishop Philpotts, and Count Senfft, on Mr. Hope's Pamphlet.
Two days after the date of the letter to Lady Henry Kerr, given in the preceding chapter (Dec. 20, 1841), took place the publication of Mr. Hope's pamphlet on the Anglo-Prussian Bishopric of Jerusalem.

I therefore refer those of my readers who wish for more extended information to the pamphlet itself, but shall quote from the Postscript to the second edition [Footnote: _The Bishopric of the United Church of England and Ireland at Jerusalem_, considered in a Letter to a Friend, by James R.
