Henry Parry Liddon (1829–90) was an English theologian. The son of a naval captain, he was born at North Stoneham, near Eastleigh, Hampshire. He was educated at King’s College School, and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated, taking a second class, in 1850. As vice principal of the theological college at Cuddesdon he wielded considerable influence, and, on returning to Oxford as vice-principal of St Edmund Hall, became a force among the undergraduates, exercising his influence in opposition to the liberal reaction against Tractarianism, which had set in after John Henry Newman’s conversion to Catholicism in 1845.

What we do upon some great occasion will probably depend on what we already are; and what we are will be the result of previous years of self-discipline.
