Publisher's Synopsis
Disestablishment and Disendowment: What Are They? is a book written by Edward Augustus Freeman and published in 1874. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the two concepts of disestablishment and disendowment, which were at the forefront of political and social debates in Britain during the 19th century.The book begins with a historical overview of the Church of England and its relationship with the state, tracing the origins of the establishment of the Church and the controversies that arose over the centuries. Freeman then explores the concept of disestablishment, which refers to the separation of the Church from the state, and disendowment, which involves the removal of Church property and funds.Throughout the book, Freeman examines the arguments for and against disestablishment and disendowment, drawing on a wide range of historical and contemporary sources. He also considers the potential consequences of these measures, both for the Church and for society as a whole.Disestablishment and Disendowment: What Are They? is a seminal work in the history of British politics and religion, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of these fields today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
