Evidence:
Charlotte Bronte to James Taylor, 1 October 1849:
'The perusal of Harriet Martineau's "Eastern Life" has afforded me great pleasure; and I have found a deep and interesting subject of study in Newman's work on the "Soul." Have you read this work? It is daring — it may be mistaken — but it is pure and elevated. Froude's "Nemesis of Faith" I did not like; I thought it morbid; yet in its pages, too, are found sprinklings of truth.'
