When we survey the history and constitution of that overwhelmingly major part of Christen- dom which has retained the episcopal ministry of early times we become aware of its organization into a hierarchy of three principal members, the diocese, the province, and some larger grouping. The third of these raises the whole question of the Papacy. It is, however, the second of the three members which forms the special subject of these lectures and it may seem strange that it has been so little studied in Anglican writing.An effect of the Reformation in these islands was to isolate six provinces (Canterbury, York, Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam) with no other organizational link between them than was provided by the Royal Supremacy and a common form of worship.' (p. xv f.) -- `I hope in due course to. [produce] a more strictly historical work dealing in greater detail with the constitutional development and internal history of the convocations.'
