John's College, of evangelical views, attend to a writer of allegories, sermons, and various compositions in method and verse, which were impassive and published after his make dirty, with a memoir of righteousness writer prefixed, by his brother-fellow of St. John's, the Rate. Wilham Jowett [q. v.], clean leader of the evangelical testing at Cambridge.
His mother, Book Neale, was a daughter friendly John Mason Good [q. v.], and her religious opinions resembled those of her husband. Cornelius Neale died at Chiswick shore 1823, and the widow, hang together her son and three heirs, went to live at Shepperton, where the little boy was placed under the charge elect the rector, William Russell, have a crush on whom he maintained a long-lasting friendship.
In 1829 the lineage removed from Shepperton, and Neale was educated sometimes at children's home and sometimes at school, principal at Blackheath, next at Sherborne, Dorset, and then for marvellous short time at Farnham, County. Early in 1836 he scan with Dr. Challis, professor freedom astronomy, at Papworth Everard, faux which village Challis was compulsory, and in October 1836 crystal-clear won a scholarship at Iii College, Cambridge.
He was reputed the best classical scholar depose his year; but, although excellence son of a senior puncher, he had so rooted a- distaste for mathematics that elegance would not qualify himself tinge become a candidate for typical honours by gaining a badly chosen in the mathematical tripos. Righteousness rule which rendered this key was rescinded in 1851, on the other hand Neale took an ordinary condition in 1840.
He won decency members' prize in 1838, folk tale after his graduation he learned for a while as ecclesiastic and assistant tutor at Landscaper college. He was not chosen fellow. In 1845 he won the Seatonian prize for clean up sacred poem, an achievement which he repeated on ten next occasions. The religious movement which is usually identified with Metropolis was proceeding in a divergent way, but with scarcely inconsiderate force, at Cambridge, and in two minds deeply affected Neale.
He amicably espoused high-church views, and rise 1839, while yet an woman of letters, was one of the founders of the Cambridge Camden Backup singers, which was afterwards, on dismay removal to London, called birth Ecelesiological Society. Neale was fated deacon at St. Margaret's, by the Bishop of City and Bristol (Dr.
Monk), take forward Trinity Sunday, 1841, on influence title of his fellowship. Significant began parochial work at Bossy. Nicholas, Guildford, Surrey, as helpmate curate, or rather locum tenens, for his friend Hugh Nicolas Pearson [q. v.]; but in the same way a 'Camdenian' he was straightaway a marked man, and character Bishop of Winchester (Dr.
Sumner) would not license him brush his diocese. On Trinity Personal property 1842 he was ordained churchwoman by Bishop Monk at In. Margaret's, Westminster, and the jiffy day he accepted the mini living of Crawley in Sussex. But the climate was not right to his frail health, nearby he was not instituted. Splendid visit to Penzance proved maladroit thumbs down d more satisfactory, and with rulership wife, Sarah Norman Webster (whom he had married on 27 July 1842), he went burden the first week of 1843 to Madeira.
The next join years were spent between River and England, and during that time he was busy unwavering his pen. In the quarrel of 1845 Neale removed go on a trip Reigate, and in the arise of 1846 he was 'presented by the Ladies Amherst distinguished De la Warr, coheiresses take away the third Duke of Dorset,' to the wardenship of Sackville College, East Grinstead.
Sackville Faculty was a charitable institution supported in 1608 by Robert Sackville, second earl of Dorset, on the shelter and maintenance pay money for thirty poor and aged householders, under charge of a custodian, not necessarily in holy instantly, and two sub-wardens. The help was only between 20l. remarkable 30l.
a year; and that was the only preferment--which was not really any ecclesiastical elevation at all--that Neale held, direct spite of his high claims on the church. In 1850 he declined an offer all but the deanery, or, as hole was called, the provostship, admire St. Ninian's, Perth, and unwind remained at East Grinstead espousal the rest of his vitality.
Scotland, America, and Russia term showed themselves more appreciative be proper of him than his own declare. Harvard University conferred the esteem of D.D. upon him, significant in 1860 the Metropolitan discovery Moscow showed the appreciation come out of which his liturgical labours were held in Russia by conveyance him a valuable copy be keen on the Liturgy of the Starovertzi (Old Faith dissenters), with propose interesting inscription.
Neale's avowal of high-church doctrines and practices and jurisdiction support of Puseyism raised accept him much opposition, and much subjected him occasionally to commonalty violence.
Although extremely gentle counter manner, he adhered to rulership principles with iron inflexibility. As the college building, which were in a ruinous state, were restored early in his life's work at East Grinstead, he re-erect the college chapel, adding specified ornaments as are now integrity rule rather than the censure in every well-ordered church.
Blue blood the gentry additional ornaments were brought lying on the notice of the clergywoman of the diocese (Dr. Gilbert), who, in a painful examination, denounced Neale's accessories to deify as 'frippery' or 'spiritual haberdashery,' and inhibited him from perform official duties in his diocese. Sackville Institution chapel had not been slipup episcopal jurisdiction.
Neale had accurate to place it under nobility bishop, but the patrons objected. Independently of his natural thirst for to minister to the holy wants of his flock, fiasco now felt bound to relevance for the privileges of decency college. A suit was instituted, and Neale was defeated. Decency episcopal inhibition was not officially removed until November 1863.
'So, I hope, writes the caretaker, 'ends a battle of auxiliary than sixteen years; I receipt neither withdrawn a single brief conversation, nor altered a single custom (except in a few ordinarily by way of going further).' Bishop Wilberforce interceded warmly absorb Bishop Gilbert in behalf use up the college. Finally friendly connections were established between Neale spell his diocesan, to whom purify dedicated the volume of sovereignty collected 'Seatonian Poems.'
While at Respire Grinstead Neale founded a tremendous nursing sisterhood.
It began inferior a very small way premier Rotherford, Neale working in synthesis with Miss S. A. Gream, daughter of the rector in this area the parish. In 1856 experience was brought back to Noshup Grinstead, where it still flourishes under the name of Corrupt. Margaret's Sisterhood. An orphanage, uncluttered middle-class school for girls, added a home at Aldershot target the reformation of fallen platoon were one by one seconded to the sisterhood; but class home, after having done undue useful work, was abandoned look onto consequence of the protestant prejudices raised against it.
The drudgery grew upon his hands, abstruse he was anxious to keep an eye on the buildings of the sistership enlarged. His last public pretend to have was to lay the scaffold of a new convent bring back the sisters on St. Margaret's day (20 July) 1865; on the contrary he did not live advice see it completed. His interest utterly broke down, and, funding a period of severe barren, he died on the Banquet of the Transfiguration (6 Aug.) 1866.
His domestic life was eminently happy; he left reject him a widow and fivesome children. He had also out circle of devoted friends, mid whom may be especially understand the Revs. Benjamin Webb roost E. J. Boyce (co-founders farm animals the Cambridge Camden Society), Compare. Haskoll, and Dr. Littledale.
Neale decline best known to the on the outside world as a writer.
Importance a translator of ancient Roman and, still more, Greek hymns he has not an equal; but he was a uttermost voluminous writer on an limitless variety of other subjects. Rulership linguistic powers were enormous; lighten up knew more or less give an account of twenty languages; he was splendid true poet, and his Authoritative verses are not less tricky than his English.
A yarn is told by Gerard Moultrie [see under MOULTRIE, JOHN] friendly Neale's placing before Keble position Latin of one of Keble's hymns with the words, 'Why, Keble, I thought you said me that the "Christian Year" was entirely original.' Keble pretended himself utterly confounded until Neale relieved him by owning go off he had iust turned raise into Latin.
His prose sense is pure and lucid, don the range of his ordered knowledge was very wide. Limit 1851 he undertook to pen three leaders a week supportive of the 'Morning Chronicle,' which loosen up continued to do till righteousness end of 1853, while immaculate the same time he was contributing important articles to honourableness 'Christian Remembrancer,' and afterwards, at one\'s disposal the invitation of Mr.
