Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rise and Decline of Welsh Nonconformity: An Impartial Investigation
First of all there is the general question, How are we to account for its sudden beginning, and ultimate success P How are we to explain it in the light of the fact, that the movement was so radically and irreconcilably Opposed, in form and in principle, to the existing Church, which was recognised as national, and which was considered to express the religious feelings and convictions of the people at large The Anglican Church had its roots in the distant past, with its traditions, its theory of Divine right, its artistic accessories to Divine worship, its priestly ministry, and its endowments that existed long before the time of legal memory.
