Book Description

Excerpt from The Right of the Nation to Deal With the Ecclesiastical Endowments Now Administered by the Church of England I entirely accept Mr. Gladstone's statement, and do not believe that liberal men are called upon to join in any such crusade. If the ecclesiastical system known as the Church of England should have any proportion of the large posses sions now enjoyed through its connection with the State secured to it as a private sect, it would within its own boundaries exercise an ambitious tyranny; and in relation to the country, it would become the centre of a political power in eternal con ict with free institutions.
