The Symposium held at St Margaret's Westminster on 18 October 2019 to celebrate Newman's Canonisation was testimony to this fact. This in itself is significant surprising given Newman's well known ability to become a focus of controversy and to be a sometimes polarising figure during his own lifetime -a trait that has been bequeathed to posterity as scholars and commentators have contended over his disputed legacy, even though the contestation in recent times has tended not to be drawn along denominational lines. Newman spent half his life as an Anglican and so it is fitting that his relationship to the Church of England should loom large in the literature and historiography in Newman studies and to have been a prominent element in the recent Symposium.

Burgess used the high church trope of apostolical continuity to reconstruct an explicitly Protestant identity for the historic English Church, its lineage rooted in a non-Roman ancient British church. While the early Tractarians gave signs of appearing to follow in this tradition of apologetic, it was clear from as early as Newman's number 7 of the Tracts for the Times was rather predicated on the unhistorical and modern origin of Protestantism and rested its claim to Antiquity on a different basis. By the time of Newman's Tract 90 (1841) at least one strand of Tractarian apologetic was more in tune with Bishop Burgess's contemporary high church opponent, Samuel Wix, applying that same apostolical emphasis in such a way as to distance the Church of England as far as possible from 'Ultra Protestantism' while attempting to build bridges with the Church of Rome.

This is a scholarly and timely edition, given the increasing academic interest in Coghlan and the English Catholic book trade; an interest reflected in Michael Mullet's recent English Catholicism, 1680-1830, a six-volume compendium of English Catholic publications, and aided by the editors' own English Catholic Books 1701Books -1800Books (1996. This edition of Coghlan's correspondence helps provides answers to questions raised in Mullet's collection, such as why certain manuscripts were selected and sponsored for publication, who bore the publication costs, and the size of the print-runs.
