Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of James Martineau, Vol. 2 of 2 On the decease of Mr. Tayler, Mr. Martineau was, as a matter of course, appointed Principal of Manchester New College; and if any jealousy of his influence still lingered here and there, it remained silent, and he was able to enter on his new duties without protest. He was now in his sixty-fifth year; but his mental powers were still at the height of their efficiency, and his mass of dark hair, his beardless face, his erect figure, and his quick, elastic step, gave the impression of a much younger man. The new Professor, who had been one of his own pupils, and afterwards for ten years the colleague of the Rev. William Gaskell in Cross Street Chapel, Manchester, was the youngest son of his old friend Dr. Drummond, of Dublin, and was received and invariably treated by him with a kindness and consideration never to be forgotten. It was thought by some of the students that at this time he became more accessible, and that henceforward a warmer feeling of affection was added to the more distant admiration which was formerly felt towards him, and at least one student who was then at the College thought the change so marked as to indicate a spiritual crisis in his life.
