Excerpt from Series of Brief Historical Sketches of the Church of England: And of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States The greater part of this tract was originally prepared as a series of Lectures for the benefit of the writers own congregation, and was delivered in that form several years ago. He has hoped to see a short and lucid statement of the prominent points in the History of the Church of England given to the public, by some one abler and better informed than himself; but having waited some time in vain, his conviction of the importance of the subjects herein discussed, and the advice of judicious friends, have induced him to publish these pages. He hopes they may be found useful to communicants of the Church who may not have time nor opportunity to examine larger works; and he sincerely trusts that they may be read by others also who are willing to follow truth, when they are satisfied that it is truth, even though it should cross their prejudices, or lead them to conclusions directly contrary to those which they had previously held. The Author is indebted to the kind assistance of his friend, the Rev. C. T. Quintard, Rector of the Church of the Advent, Nashville, for many of the notes found in these pages, and for many references to authorities which he could not otherwise have obtained except at the expense of much time and labor.
