Hardcover. xvi, 360 p.; 22 cm. Preface. The Author has been engaged for many years on the History of the Church and of Religion in England from the Reformation to the Oxford Movement: the result has been the production of a work of which, at the present date, after the Great War, he cannot expect to obtain publication, both on account of the high cost of printing and of the paucity of purchasers of expensive works.
