Historical Sketches: Volume One is the work of John Henry Cardinal Newman, a collection of essays on historical topics written by Newman himself, a well known religious figure and a man who was beatified in 2010. This publication of Volume One includes sections on The Turks and their relations with Europe, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Apollonius of Tyana, and primitive Christianity. Cardinal Newman's book of historical essays is formatted in a relatively straightforward style. Each section of the book features a brief introduction, followed by a series of essays on the selected topic. The most space in this collection is devoted to the author's works on the history of the Turks and their relationships with other European nations. This section is subdivided into four chapters, focusing on the nation of Turkey, the descent of the Turks, the military conquests of the Turks, and the future prospects of the Turks. While the other topics in this collection are all given a thorough treatment, this section is the standout in Volume One . John Henry Newman has put together an interesting book of history that successfully provides the reader with essays on a cross section of different topics. While it is a unique choice to group these works into one collection when they are ostensibly unrelated, the resulting book is nothing if not an entertaining read. This is not an exhaustive history of any of the subjects discussed, but rather an analysis of various influential historical figures and peoples. Historical Sketches: Volume One will appeal to anybody that considers themselves a fan of history writing. While better known as a religious figure, John Henry Cardinal Newman was also an accomplished author, and one whose work deserves to be read.
