Martineau, James (1805–1900), Unitarian minister. In 1869 he became Principal of Manchester New College, but continued his pastoral activities. He upheld the theist position against the negations of physical science, and he elaborated the ‘Design argument’ with the modifications made necessary by the Darwinian theory of evolution. He did much for the organization of Unitarians in England and Ireland.
