Excerpt from Orthodox London: Or, Phases of Religious Life in the Church of England
T1116 present volume contains the whole of Orthodox Londen, parts I. And II., with the exception of a few chapters that possessed no permanent interest, and with the addition of some portions of Heterodox and Mystic London. The Annual Register for 1873, when com menting on these books, flatteringly supposes that they may one day possess historical interest. What would we not give,' it asks, 'for an equally fair and graphic picture of the religious bill of fare furnished for the England of two or three centuries ago?' Perhaps the purport of this particular volume could not be better described than by quoting some subsequent words in the same article. 'dr Davies,' it is added 'finds differences as great among the orthodox divines themselves as among some of the unorthodox those on the other side of the border.' It is even so and the discovery need not shake faith in the Church of England as by Law Established rather the reverse.
