Pamphlet. 31 p.; 21 cm. (Friends of Dr. Williams's Library ; 24th lecture) "When my coat has worn itself into an affectionate intimacy with my body, when it has served for Sunday best and for weekdays, and got weather stained out in the fields with wind and rain--then faithful it does not part from me but getting itself cut up into shreds and patches descends to form a hearthrug for ny feet. After that, when worn through, it goes into the kennel and keeps my dog warm, and so after the lapse of years retiring to the manure heap and passing out into the land, returns to me in the form of potatoes for my dinner; or being pastured by my sheep, reappears upon their backs as the material of new clothing. Thus it remains a friend to all time grateful to me for not having despised and thrown it away when it first got behind the fashions.And seeing that we have been faithful to each other,my coat and I,for one round or life-period,I do not see why we should not renew our intimacy in other metamorphoses or wny we should ever quite lose touch of each other through the aeons." (p. 21, paper read before the `Fellowship of the New Life' in January 1886) -- `The socialism destined to win the allegiance of the great mass of working people was not to be of this mystical, disciplined and self-renunciatory kind. On the contrary, the leaders who gave the movement a political cutting edge, and finally won through to power,were determined that the expropriated and under privileged should themselves enjoy the fruits of technology. .To Edward Carpenter socialism was a way of life; it presupposed a philosophy; it was the realisation within the community of a truly human brotherhood.' (p. 22) VG, stapled, in orig. buff wrapper.…

Hardcover. Condition: VG orig. blue cloth. vii, 276 p.; 19.5 cm. `It would be idle to pretend that there were not churches in the Diocese of Exeter [where Ryle served as Bishop from 1901-03] in which the services were of a nature calculated to startle others besides the ultra-Protestant. For some forty years people in certain parishes had been familiarised with teaching and ceremonial of the most advanced "Anglo-Catholic" type, and these developments had become so deeply rooted that the congregations had learnt to take them for granted.' (Fitzgerald, A memoir of Herbert Edward Ryle, p. 153) -- `Meanwhile, the Bishop endeavoured to make his position in these controversial matters perfectly clear by his own public teaching on the Church, the Invocation of Saints, Prayers to the Virgin Mary, and the like. In 1904 he collected together a number of his utterances on these points.' (p. 156) -- `The Council of Trent says, "That the Saints reigning together with Christ offer their prayers for men to God, and that it is good and useful to invoke them as suppliants, and for the sake of obtaining benefits from God through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our only Redeemer and Saviour, to have recourse to their prayers, aid, and assistance." It is this position that our Church has repudiated.' (On the Church of England, p. 180).…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Westminster Abbey: where British history comes to lie down, preferably in stone, with excellent lettering. The Westminster Abbey Official Guide (1969), produced by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, is a calm and courteous introduction to one of the most crowded buildings in the country?crowded not with visitors (though there are plenty of those), but with monarchs, poets, scientists, soldiers, saints, and the lingering sense that nearly everything important has happened here at least once. This is a guidebook in the best traditional sense. It explains what you are looking at, why it matters, and how many centuries of ceremony, burial, coronation, and quiet national myth-making have been layered into a single structure. Chapels, tombs, monuments, and architectural details are all given their due, with the steady authority of an institution that has been doing this sort of thing for a very long time. There is a pleasing irony in reducing Westminster Abbey to a ?guide.? A place that has hosted coronations, sheltered kings, commemorated geniuses, and absorbed the entire emotional history of a nation is here politely summarised between covers, ready to be carried about and consulted as needed. History, it seems, can be footnoted. This good 1969 copy, as sold by Crappy Old Books, carries its own quiet sense of continuity. Slightly worn, perhaps handled by visitors who once walked those aisles themselves, it feels like a small portable echo of the Abbey?s long memory. Ideal for readers of British history, architecture, heritage, and anyone who enjoys the idea that a building can function simultaneously as a church, a monument, and a very distinguished guest list.…
