About the author
Henry Garrett Newland was an English cleric and author associated with the Tractarian movement. He was born in London in 1804 and died on June 25, 1860, at St Marychurch in Devon.
He was educated in part abroad as a boy, later studied at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and went on to serve in the Church of England. In the later part of his life he became vicar of St Marychurch with Coffinswell, near Torquay, and also served as chaplain to the bishop of Exeter.
Newland wrote across several forms, including sermons, devotional works, biblical commentary, and travel writing. Among the books linked with his name are Forest Scenes in Norway and Sweden and The Erne, works that show a broader literary side alongside his religious writing.
