The English Church in the Nineteenth Century (Classic Reprint)

ISBN: 9781333988098
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
Excerpt from The English Church in the Nineteenth Century This little book is an attempt to do, on a very small scale, what has not yet been done, so far as I am aware. It may be that the forthcoming work by Mr. F. Warre Cornish will prove to be the adequate and impartial presentation of the subject which is so much needed. I had hoped to have the great advantage of reading it before sending my ms. To the printers, but it has not appeared in time. Of existing books, the only one in my judgment really satis factory is the late Canon Overton's, which has the same title as my own; but it only covers one - third of the century, 1800 - 1833. Works that include the remaining two-thirds are histories Of the Church from an earlier period, and naturally afford but little Space for later events and episodes; while Of these events and episodes the writers seem to think only three or four worth recording, viz. The Oxford Movement, the Revival of Convo cation, and the Essay: and Reviews and Ritual Controversies. One standard book does treat the period more at length; but its omissions are very strange, as my readers will perceive by referring to the footnote on page 51 Of the present volume.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Reprinting and the Embodied Book
Author: Jessica DeSpainPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317087259
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Until the Chace Act in 1891, no international copyright law existed between Britain and the United States, which meant publishers were free to edit text, excerpt whole passages, add new illustrations, and substantially redesign a book's appearance. In spite of this ongoing process of transatlantic transformation of texts, the metaphor of the book as a physical embodiment of its author persisted. Jessica DeSpain's study of this period of textual instability examines how the physical book acted as a major form of cultural exchange between Britain and the United States that called attention to volatile texts and the identities they manifested. Focusing on four influential works”Charles Dickens's American Notes for General Circulation, Susan Warner's The Wide, Wide World, Fanny Kemble's Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation, and Walt Whitman's Democratic Vistas”DeSpain shows that for authors, readers, and publishers struggling with the unpredictability of the textual body, the physical book and the physical body became interchangeable metaphors of flux. At the same time, discourses of destabilized bodies inflected issues essential to transatlantic culture, including class, gender, religion, and slavery, while the practice of reprinting challenged the concepts of individual identity, personal property, and national identity.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Rise and Development of Presbyterianism in Scotland Throughout the whole history of the Reformed Church in Scotland one of the most outstanding features will be found to be the overwhelming desire to maintain the independence of the Church from all secular control, and the most characteristic feature of the disputes which went on during the reigns of the Stewart Kings (especially James VI and I, and Charles I), was the failure of those Monarchs to appreciate the Scottish sentiments Of Patriotism, Protestantism and Freedom.
