[Professor Francis William Newman, younger brother of the late Cardinal Newman, was born in 1805. In 1826 he was elected Fellow of Balliol ; but he gave up the idea of taking orders and resigned hi 3 fellowship in IS3O from conscientious scruples on the subject of infant baptism. He then went to Bagdad with the object of assisting the late Mr A. N. Greves in a Christian mission, but his further studies convinced him that he could not conscientiously undertake the work, and he returned to England. In 1840 he accepted the post of Classical Professor at Manchester, and in 1846 became Latin professor at University College, London, which post he resigned in 1863. He published many works on religious subjects, political economy and history, classics and Oriental languages. He was an ardent advocate of abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and flesh food.]
