Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tract XC: On Certain Passages in the XXXIX Articles
IT is not without a grave cause, that I renew the memory of sorrows, mistakes, and strong and (as I think) ill-consi dered measures, themselves long since past, but abiding in their effects. The re - awakened interest in Tract 90 Within the Church of England, attested by its recent reprint in the United States and by the wish which has been felt in Eng land that it should be reprinted amongst us, will justify, I trust, an explanation of the circumstances which occasioned the original prejudice entertained but too widely against it; for to republish it without some such explanation, would be but to re awaken those sleeping impressions about it. This has already been a result of its republication in the United States, where a paper, apparently a Church organ, notices the fact, only to censure Tract 90 in the terms formerly used about it. To myself, also, - when engaged upon a general defence of the Articles in my recent Eire micom, and giving the exposition of certain of them which had, in the main, commended itself independently, but cc incidently, to the Author of Tract 90, J Keble, and myself.
