Book Description

Excerpt from The Church and State Handy-Book: Of Arguments, Facts, and Statistics Suited to the Times E design of the present work may be thus expressed To furnish the church-and-state politician, in a conveniently small compass, with a fund of information, Scriptural, argumentative, historical, and statistical, calculated to be useful to. Him in fulfilling his public duties in matters ecclesiastical or semi-ecclesiastical. The subjects dealt with range themselves substantially under three heads I. The observance of the Lord's Day. 2. Dissenting aggressions on the Establish ed Church. 3. Roman Catholicism as an element in British politics. Under the first head I have discussed the Sunday question, from a purely Biblical stand-point; and, subordinately, in the light thrown upon it by the authoritative standards of the Church of England, and practical experience.
