Pusey

EDWARD BOUVERIE, an English theological writer, a leader of the Anglo-Catholic (Tractarian) party in the Established Church; born near Oxford in 1800. He was associated with Newman and others in the "British Critic," "Tracts for the Times," etc., and his conspicuousness from his social position (nephew of one earl and grandson of another, professor and canon of Christ Church), wealth and munificent charities, caused the Oxford Movement to be known as "Puseyism." He pub- PUTNAM lished: "The Holy Eucharist a Comfort to the Penitent" (1843), a sermon which resulted in his suspension for three years; two sermons on "The Entire Absolution of the Penitent" (1846), equally revolutionary. Of his larger works the most important are: "The Doctrine of the Real Presence" (1855); "The Real Presence of the Body and Blood of Christ the Doctrine of the English Church" (1857); "An Eirenicon." He died Sept. 16, 1882.
