Nicholas Patrick Wiseman papers, 1848-1910.

This collection includes Wiseman's correspondence, consisting mostly of letters to unidentified correspondents. The collection also includes published letters, such as pastoral letters. It contains handwritten documents and manuscripts such as "MS Preface to Complete Works of St. John of the Cross" and a manuscript in Italian. One of the documents relates to the publication of a Catholic newspaper, possibly The Dublin Review, and the Oxford Movement. Also in the collection is a scrapbook compiled by Wiseman entitled "Extracts from the Press on the Establishment of the Hierarchy in England." This scrapbook contains articles which reflect the unpopularity the English Protestant press felt towards the new Archdiocese of Westminster. Almost all of the articles are from approximately 1850 but one final article is about the Archdiocese of Westminster's Diamond Jubilee in 1910.
