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.'

Sherlock and the men of his time -- Epilogue -- Bibliography -- Index. -- `Bishop Gibson died on September 6, 1748 and was succeeded by Thomas Sherlock, who in virtue of his position as Bishop of London would be expected to undertake the care of the American Colonies. The first years witnessed his vigorous efforts to secure a resident Bench of Bishops but on his failure in this matter, he commenced a policy of inaction, by which he hoped to force the hands of the Government. He refused to seek legal authority for his jurisdiction and gave the least possible attention to American affairs. Such a desperate policy--for its results were little less than general anarchy in the American Church--can be justified by nothing but success: by this standard Sherlock's policy must be reckoned a failure and its ultimate result was not to force the hand of the Government to institute an American Episcopate, but to weaken the links which bound the Church life of the one country to the other, and to render the recovery of the English Church in America almost impossible. Just at the period when the Methodists in America were making enormous strides, the established Church was becoming weaker and weaker.' (p. 193 f.) --. Binding is Hardcover.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Good black binder's cloth. xiii, 398 p.; 4 pl.; 22 cm. Compton had officiated at the marriage of William of Orange and Princess Mary which "was somewhat hastily solemnised in Princess Mary's bedroom by Compton at nine o'clock in the evening of 4 November" 1677 (p. 36) and at their coronation in 1689. "Despite such `popularity at Court', one thing seems quite certain, namely, that Mary, a woman of genuine piety, and sincerely interested in the welfare of the Church, who knew the Bishop of London intimately, did not want him as Archbishop: and that Tillotson, when he himself was seeking to withdraw from the Primacy, suggested not Compton, the obvious choice, but Stillingfleet. Gilbert Burnet, who had the ear both of the King and the Queen, supported the nomination of Tillotson, and though he recognised the Bishop of London's Protestant zeal, yet regarded him, perhaps unfairly, as `weak and wilful'. Was it therefore some defect of character, some temperamental irresponsibility, which made William and Mary emphatic that they did not want Compton at Lambeth? Though both monarchs had benefited from the Bishop's duplicity to James at the Revolution, it may be that they were in a measure shocked at such conduct in a churchman and felt they they could not really trust him. Perhaps, also, the prescient William recognised that such an appointment would exacerbate the feelings of the Nonjurors; perhaps he himself preferred someone to whom he did not owe so much. The immediate effect upon Compton of his being passed over was extreme and he made little effort to conceal his disappointment." (p. 174).…
