In a letter addressed to Archbishop Benson on his acceptance of the Primacy, more than twenty-three years ago, Dr. Fenton Hort mentions as the most formidable perils then in prospect for the English Church, the danger of its calm and unobtmsive alienation in thought and spirit from the great silent multitude of Eng Ushmen, and again of a Uenation from fact and love of fact; mutual alienations both In my opinion this alienation from fact and love of fact is an evil already afflicting not only the English Church, but all the religious communities in England; and in writing the history of modem English Bationalism I have tried to trace the process by which it has been brought about. For the alienation, as Hort observes, is mutual; and to set fact at odds with faith is to rationalise. Owing to the singular intellectual decline of England, as distinguished from Scotland and I reland, during the period immediately preceding the French Sevolution, criticism of religious beliefis by English writers in the nineteenth century seems to begin almost de novo, like the contemporary revival of literature and science, under the influence of extraneous excitements. Thus the period treated of in this work is marked off from previous periods not merely by our artificial system of chronology, but by what may be called a true scientific frontier in time.
