Transubstantiation as maintained by Bossuet and Maimbourg. ]
A Collection of Aphorisms. In two parts. 1704.
Latin Edition of his Writings
In 1679, More, believing that his writings were destined to take their
place as classics, translated them into Latin (being aided by funds especially
bequeathed by his friend Cockshutt, of the Inner Temple, for that
purpose), and published them in two large folio volumes under the title
Henrici Mori Cantabrigiensis Opera Omnia, tum quae Latine tum quae
Anglice scripta sunt nunc vero Latinitate donata, eto.
Sources for his Biography
In what he terms Praefatio Generalissima to the above edition, More
embodied many interesting facts connected with his early life; and, in 1710,
Richard Ward, rector of More's former living of Ingoldsby in Lincolnshire,
published The Life of the Learned and Pious Dr Henry More, late fellow
of Christ's College, etc. To which are annexed divers of his Useful and
Excellent Letters. Among these letters, that to lady Carbery, on her studies,
and that to William Penn, the quaker, are the most noteworthy.
Criticisms of his Philosophy
Hallam, Maurice, Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy, pp. 347-9, Hunt,
J. , passim, Martineau, Jas. , U. S. vol. 11, all indicate points of importance in
More's teaching which call for consideration. Tulloch’s estimate, the earliest
to recognise More's superiority to his contemporaries in his conviction of the
claims of reason in relation to the subjects of which he treats, should be
carefully studied. Dean Inge's Bampton Lectures for 1899 deal with the
mysticism of the period; while Benson, A. C. , in a short study, Essays, 1896,
dwells chiefly on the less recondite characteristics of his subject.
