Excerpt from The Law of Tithes and Tithe Rent-Charge: Being a Treatise on the Law of Tithe Rent-Charge, With a Sketch of the History and Law of Tithes Prior to the Communication Acts, and Including the Tithe Act of 1891, With the Rules Thereunder
The favorable reception which has been accorded to the First Edition of this little book has encouraged the Author to take advantage of the passing of the recent Act to issue a second. This has afforded the opportunity to correct a few mistakes and supply a few omissions, which unfortunately occurred in the former Edition. The chapters on rating and recovery of tithe rent-charge (in the First Edition headed Remedies of Tithe-owner have necessarily been in a great measure re-written, and the order of the chapters has been slightly altered to make the arrangement more natural.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the ecclesiastical history of tithes from their biblical origins, to their development into a formalized tax under Medieval English Canon Law, to their secularization under Henry VIII. The author traces how the Protestant Reformation replaced Papal authority with the Crown as the head of the English Church while giving legal standing to tithes as a form of property. The impact of the resulting tithes system on parishes and their communities is explored before the author examines the process by which tithes were, in the 19th Century, converted into a monetary rent charge, leading to greater equity in the distribution of the Church's revenues. This is a comprehensive historical study of tithes in England that will appeal to scholars of religious history, legal history, and English history in general.
