Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Eighteenth Century Church-Men: Glimpses of English, Church Life in the Eighteenth Century Some of the sketches in this little book have appeared during the last few years in either the Treasury or the Commonwealth. The editor of the Treasury has kindly permitted me to use the chapters on Newton, Bishop Porteus, Hannah More, and the latter half of that on Dr. Johnson; whilst the chapters on Cowper and Bishop Watson are due to the courtesy of the editors of the Commonwealth. These chapters, with others hitherto unpublished, are now issued in book form in the hope that they may prove something of a cordial to drooping spirits in these difficult days. The volume, in the form of biographical sketches, gives glimpses into an age of great unbelief and immorality in the world at large and of great sloth in the English Church in particular. It will answer its purpose if it brings home to any reader the fact that because the Church is Divine, she has always immense recuperative powers; she may languish for a while, but can never die. The Church in England survived the eighteenth century, when self-complacent sloth and indifference in priests and people alike had, to all appearance, established themselves ineradicably within her bosom.
