Compendium of English Church History

Excerpt from Compendium of English Church History: From 1688 to 1830, With a Preface Several years ago I promised the publishers of this Volume to prepare for them a Manual of the History of the English Church between 1688 and 1830. Other duties arose and claimed all my time, and I found myself unable to perform my promise. But for two or three years I was in great hope that the work would be done, in my stead, by a member of the University who would, I am sure, have provided an excellent handbook on this subject. He however was called away to other labours, and finding himself unable to make such progress with the volume as he desired at last withdrew' from the work. Soon after this disappointment, both to the publishers and myself, the following pages were offered me, and on perusing them I thought them not unsuitable to the purpose for which they were prepared. I therefore undertook to look them over as they passed through the press and to introduce them by a short preface when they were in print.
