Book Description

Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Church of England The religious Controversies and Ecclesiastical politics of the day are leading to a greatly increased demand for information on Church matters. This 'dictionary 'of the Church of England aims at supplying the demand briefly, accurately, and in the handiest way. In the desire to limit the book in size and cost, so as to make it widely useful, systematic completeness has been sacrificed, and the Subjects most likely to be useful have been arbitrarily selected. The Classified Table of Subjects arranges some of the articles in such an order that the student, reading them consecutively, may find something like connected essays on various subjects, 3. G. On English Church History, Architecture History of the Prayer Book, &c. For some special articles the book is indebted to. The kindness of contributors: those signed R. T. Are by the Rev. Dr. R. Thornton; those signed A. H. Are by Major Alfred Beales those signed J. R. A. By J. Romilly Allen, Esq. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
