A portrait of the later life of John Henry New man. written by LEO KNOWLES. With
John Franklyn-Robbins as John Henry Newman
'Because I have not pushed myself forward, because I have not dreamed of saying "see what I am doing and have done ", because I have not retailed gossip, flattered great people, and sided with this or that party. I am nobody. I have no friend in Rome: I have laboured in England, to he misrepresented, back-bitten and scorned.'
