Excerpt from Churches in the Modern State

In the chapter on Ultramontanism, I trust that nothing has been said which can wound the religious sense of other Chris tians. It is of the political meaning of an ecclesiastical autocracy that I am speaking. Further, in claiming inherent life for the different parts of the Catholic Church, the writer is not to be understood as meaning by that an absolutely independent entity possessed by the Church of England.

Excerpt from Churches in the Modern State

The four lectures which make the main matter of this volume were delivered to the clergy in Gloucester in June 1911 at the request of the Bishop of the Diocese. Since then I have re-written them, still, however, retaining the lecture form. Pressure of other work is responsible for so long a delay in publication. The first Appendix contains a paper read to the Royal Historical Society, and printed in the Society's Transactions. This develops in greater detail the historical thesis which is the basis of the lecture on "The Great Leviathan." The other Appendix consists of three articles on Creighton, Maitland, and Acton, which were contributed by the author to the Guardian in the year 1907.
