Macmillan's Magazine, 1859-1907 by George J. Worth

Author:George J. Worth
Language: eng
Format: epub
Publisher: Routledge

Perhaps significantly, Maurice’s response was published in the Spectator,103 rather than in Macmillan’s Magazine, where Carlyle’s offending, and offensive, piece had appeared. Thus, enormous as Maurice’s role in the early Macmillan’s clearly was, there were also limits to his influence on its publisher and on its contents before the end of the 1860s and his death on 1 April 1872.

Notes

1. Add MSS 54918, fol. 67; Add MSS 38986, fols 94–5; Add MSS 54918, fols 70–71. There may well have been some communication between Hughes and Maurice about Maurice’s undertaking such a review. In a letter of 27 May 1858 to Charles Kingsley, Maurice mentioned ‘a review of Froude’s History’ as something he might ‘do’ for ‘some journal which shall discard anonymous writing’ (Frederick Maurice, The Life of Frederick Denison Maurice Chiefly Told in His Own Letters [New York: Scribner, 1884] 2: 321–2); under the circumstances, this seems like more than a hypothetical example, especially in view of the fact that Maurice did ultimately review Volumes 6 and 7 of Froude for Macmillan’s:

2 (1860): 276–84; also see Maurice’s ‘History and Casuistry’, 2 (1860): 505–12. 2. Add MSS 55836, fols 9–10, 11–12 and 14. Several other letters from Alexander Macmillan to various correspondents in Add MSS 55836 mention the delay in the appearance of the Magazine: to F.J.A. Hort, 27 July 1858 (fols 12–13); to F.J. Furnivall, 17 August 1858 (fol. 24); to J. W. Blakesley, 17 August 1858 (fol. 25); to J.W. Blakesley again, 23 August 1858 (fol. 39); and to T.H. Huxley, 26 August 1858 (fols 43–4).

5. Maurice’s first contribution to Macmillan’s, a Letter to the Editor that appeared in the second number, challenged the assumption of the anonymous reviewer of Kingsley’s Miscellanies in the Saturday Review of 12 November 1859 that Kingsley had borrowed some of his ideas from Maurice: ‘Mr. Kingsley and the “Saturday Review”’, 1 (1859): 116–19.

6. Frederick Maurice 2: 322.

8. See, for example, Desmond Bowen, The Idea of the Victorian Church: A Study of the Church of England 1833–1889 (Montreal: McGill University Press, 1968) 311–38 and passim; Owen Chadwick, The Victorian Church, Part I (New York: Oxford University Press, 1966) 346–63 and passim; Bernard M.G. Reardon, From Coleridge to Gore: A Century of Religious Thought in Britain (London: Longman, 1971) 158–215 and passim; and Alec R. Vidler, The Church in an Age of Revolution: 1789 to the Present Day (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1962) 83–9, 95–9, and passim. More recently, Frank M. Turner has called Maurice ‘the most important liberal Anglican theologian of the mid-century’ (Contesting Cultural Authority: Essays in Victorian Intellectual Life [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993] 344).

9. 26 (1872): 84, 87–8.

Examples include Hughes’s ‘More about Masters and Workmen’ (October 1861) and ‘Trades’ Unions, Strikes, and Co-operation’ (November 1865), Ludlow’s two-part ‘Trade Societies and the Social Science Association’ (February and March 1861) and Fawcett’s ‘Co-operative Societies: Their Social and Economical Aspects’ (October 1860), ‘On the Present Prospect of Co-operative Societies’ (February 1862) and ‘Inaugural Lecture on Political Economy’ (April 1864).
