Synopsis

The Rise and Fall of the High Commission is a historical book written by Roland Greene Usher and published in 1913. The book is a detailed study of the High Commission, a powerful institution of the English Church during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. The High Commission was responsible for enforcing religious conformity and suppressing dissent within the Church of England.Usher's book provides a comprehensive account of the High Commission's origins, powers, and activities. He traces its development from its creation in 1559 to its eventual abolition in 1641. The book also examines the controversies and conflicts that surrounded the High Commission, including its role in the persecution of Catholics and Puritans.The author uses a range of primary sources, including official documents, letters, and diaries, to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the High Commission's impact on English society and politics. He also explores the wider context of religious and political change in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.Overall, The Rise and Fall of the High Commission is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English Church and the politics of the early modern period. Usher's book provides a fascinating insight into the workings of one of the most powerful institutions of the time and sheds light on the complex religious and political dynamics of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The judicial and administrative history of an ecclesiastical court abolished nearly three hundred years ago would seem, to most readers, a subject too technical and too remote from the great issues, whose breadth gives to institutional history its vitality and permanent interest, to make the results attained of value to any but a few specialists. Yet the intimate connexion of the High Commission shistory with the growth of the nonconformists, with their struggle to find a place in the English Church, and with their determination to leave it ;the important part in the history of the institution played by Thomas Cromwell, Richard Bancroft, Sir Edward Coke, William Laud, and other notable men of the period ;the insistence of the Puritans and lawyers in 1640 that the illegality of the Commission, as well as its brutality, was one of the chief causes of the Revolution of 1640 ;the vital importance of a knowledge of the controversy between the common lawyers and the High Commissioners to a proper understanding of the development and meaning of the constitutional issues so prominent during the Stuart period, all impart a significant and broad interest to the study of the Commission shistory, and make any sound conclusions about it of real value to the general student and even to the casual reader of Eng Ush history.
