Talk:John Mason Neale

Music
The assertion that "Brief life is here our portion," "To thee, O dear, dear country" were two of Neale's three best-known hymn texts is (at least from a contemporary American viewpoint) absurd on its face. It may have been true in Britain at the time of the 11th Britannica, but I don't think Wikipedia ought to be forcing its readers to time travel like that. I will see what I can do to update Mr. Neale (I made a start by mentioning his Christmas carols, which are surely better known than even "Jerusalem the Golden" in this day).--Haruo 20:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Towle's relationship to Neale (moved here from an edit summary where an anon left it)
Eleanor Towle was NOT John Mason Neale's daughter. His daughter Mary Lawson edited books on his sermons and hymns and did not do anything on his life -- 18:40, 7 November 2007 88.109.249.206
