Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rise and Fall of the High Commission The judicial and administrative history of an ecclesiastical court abolished nearly three hundred years ago would seem, to most readers, a subject too technical and too remote from the great issues, whose breadth gives to institutional history its vitality and permanent interest, to make the results attained of value to any but a few specialists. Yet the intimate connexion of the High Commission´s history with the growth of the nonconformists, with their struggle to find a place in the English Church, and with their determination to leave it; the important part in the history of the institution played by Thomas Cromwell, Richard Bancroft, Sir Edward Coke, William Laud, and other notable men of the period; the insistence of the Puritans and lawyers in 1640 that the illegality of the Commission, as well as its brutality, was one of the chief causes of the Revolution of 1640 ;the vital importance of a knowledge of the controversy between the common lawyers and the High Commissioners to a proper understanding of the development and meaning of the constitutional issues so prominent during the Stuart period, - all impart a significant and broad interest to the study of the Commissions history, and make any sound conclusions about it of real value to the general student and even to the casual reader of English history.
