| Summary |
"Memoirs of James Robert Hope-Scott, Volume 2" by Robert Ornsby is a historical account written in the late 19th century that chronicles the life and correspondence of James Robert Hope-Scott, a prominent Anglican cleric and lawyer. The memoirs delve into his involvement in the religious and political tumult of the time, especially focusing on his critiques of the Anglican Church and his relationships with influential figures such as John Newman and Dr. Pusey. At the start of this volume, the opening chapter discusses Hope-Scott's pamphlet on the Jerusalem Bishopric published in 1842. This pamphlet captures his arguments against the establishment of the bishopric and reflects his dedication to Canon Law. Correspondence with notable figures like Newman highlights the intersection of personal belief and institutional critique during a time of great upheaval in the Anglican community. In this early portion, readers are introduced to the complexities of Hope-Scott's convictions, the discussions about Anglicanism’s relationship to Catholicism, and the scholarly exchanges that marked his life.
