Memoirs of James Robert Hope-Scott of Abbotsford, D. C. L., Q. C., late Fellow of Merton College, Oxford with Selections from his Correspondence: In two Volumes. II

Published in 1884, this two-volume biography was written by Robert Ornsby to chronicle the life of James Robert Hope-Scott, a prominent 19th-century English barrister and an influential figure in the Oxford Movement. Hope-Scott was a close associate of John Henry Newman and played a significant role in the intellectual and religious circles of the era, particularly through his conversion to Roman Catholicism and his subsequent legal career, which included extensive work for railway companies.

Robert Ornsby, a professor of Greek and Latin at the Catholic University of Ireland, compiled these memoirs to document Hope-Scott's public contributions and private character. The work draws heavily upon personal correspondence to provide a view into the motivations and social context of a man deeply involved in the ecclesiastical and legal debates of Victorian England. It remains a scholarly resource for those studying the history of the Oxford Movement and the development of the Catholic Church in Britain during the mid-to-late 1800s.
