Excerpt from The Religion of the Church, as Presented in the Church of England: A Manual of Membership
This little book is intended as a summary statement of the religion of the catholic church. It is intended to meet a need, which is just now clamorous - the provision of a manual of instruction for the members of the Church of England. It has been rapidly written, and, from the nature of the case, can supply little in the way of proofs or justifications of its statements. But I can truthfully plead that there is nothing here written down that has not behind it the meditation and study of a lifetime; and in other books I have sought to supply the grounds, or a great part of the grounds, on which the statements of this book repose. I hope my critics will remember this.
My little book has had the advantage of the very careful criticisms and suggestions of Father Paul Bull, C.R. I have not seen my way to accept all his suggestions, and he has no responsibility for what appears in the book.
