English Social Reformers (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from English Social Reformers The object of these few sketches is to elucidate the chief influences for social and industrial reform that have been active in England in the past, and, in one or two cases, to show their relation to problems of the present. In writing of the men from whom these influences proceeded, I have tried to let them, where possible, speak for themselves. If, therefore, it should seem that too large a portion of the text in certain places is in inverted commas, it is because the present writer recognizes that the words of the reformers he quotes are much better than his own.

Lives of the British Reformers


Book Description

Excerpt from Lives of the British Reformers: From Wickliff to Foxe British Reformers have been assailed with un precedented violence. They have been denounced as hypocrites and time-servers, and been charged with base subserviency to the will Of a licentious despot, to gratify whose evil passions they sacrificed the welfare Of England, the unity of the church, and the cause Of truth. That such accusations should have been brought against them by avowed Romanists is not surprising. But it is a strange and startling circumstance that in our days the charges Should have been echoed and exaggerated by members and ministers Of the church Of which they were the chief founders, and for which they laid down their lives.
