Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from English Church Reform, 1815-1840
The reform movement which triumphed in 1832 envisaged the ecclesiastical as well as the civil constitution; and we cannot appreciate the position of the Church at this crisis without some knowledge of the attitude it had assumed, towards the social and political problems which had been ripening for solution since the close of the Napoleonic War. But this attitude was determined to some extent by the principles of religious parties and, as these parties must be constantly referred to, it will be well at the outset to review their origin and character.
