Book Description

Excerpt from Two Answers to Cardinal Perron: And Other Miscellaneous Works of Lancelot Andrewes, Sometime Lord Bishop of Winchester To this has been subjoined Sir John Harington's Memoir of the Bishop, from his "Briefe View of the State of the Church of England;" written during the Bishop's life, though only for private use: and such Letters of the Bishop as have been discovered. In order in some measure to supply still further the deficiencies of Isaacson's Biography, a large body of notes has been added, illustrative of his statements, and also, in many cases, furnishing additional and very interesting matter. Such notices of the Bishop, from contemporary and other authentic sources, as could not be conveniently inserted in notes, will be found arranged in the Appendices subjoined to the Life. In one of these Appendices there is given a chronological arrangement of the Bishop's Sermons, with notices of them from contemporaries; and a detailed account, as far as the Editor was able to ascertain them, of the Editions of the Sermons, whether single or collected, as well as of the Bishop's other works. These notices will, it is hoped, be found of interest to the Bibliographer, as well as to the Theologian. The other Appendices contain further notices of the Bishop in connexion with some of his most distinguished contemporaries, as Casaubon, Grotius, and Archbishop Laud. It is believed that a larger amount of information respecting Bishop Andrewes has been here brought together, than had previously been collected by any of his Biographers; though it is possible that some, already accessible, may have escaped the researches of the Editor, and that further notices may remain to be gathered from unpublished documents bearing on the history of those times. To these are added the Bishop's Will, which is now printed at full length for the first time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
