A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It has been the happy privilege of the Church of England, out of her own spirit of sweet reasonableness and moderation, to train from time to time a band of men who, while they are nurtured on her own essence and educated in her special precepts, become in turn the strength, the support, the very embodiment of her principles and doctrine. That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain. And the strength and support of that branch of the Cathohc Church mi Utant in our own country has always lain upon the middle way; it has never been her method either to waste in passionate dreams ,or to protest overmuch with the voices of prophecy or denunciation. To say this is not to presume to depreciate the excellence of those kinds of enthusiasm which are congenitally foreign to the English character. The rapt absorption of the mystic, the perpetual adoration of the saint, must be objects of reverence to every branch of the faithful; but such spiritual detachment is probably pecu Uar to races in which the naturar atmosphere is more highly charged with the elements of romance and imagination.
