The hitherto unpublished papers from the Newman Archive at Birmingham Oratory collected in this volume concern the problem with which Newman wrestled throughout his life, the justification of certainty, especially in religion. They complement his published works and, because they are for the most part tentative and unrevised, they show his mind at work. Most of these papers were written between 1843 and 1870, but the volume ends with the last of the Stray Essays privately printed in 1890, Newman's final apologia of his life's work, and his last complete answer to the charge of scepticism. Two further volumes of Newman's unpublished papers on doctrinal subjects are planned, one containing those he wrote as an Anglican, and other those on the inspiration of scripture and on papal infallibility.
