S. VI. Manny A HISTORY OF THE ARTICLES OF RELIGION: TO WHICH IS ADDED A SERIES OF DOCUMENTS, FROM A.D. 1536 TO A.D. 1615; TOGETHER WITH ILLUSTRATIONS FROM CONTEMPORARY SOURCES. BY CHARLES HARDWICK, M. A. FELLOW OF ST. CATHARINE'S HALL, CAMBRIDGE, AND WHITEHALL PREACHER. PHILADELPHIA: HERMAN HOOKER, S. W. CORNER CHESNUT AND EIGHTH STREETS 3060 -2 ADVERTISEMENT. THE following Chapters were drawn up with the idea of contributing, in some measure, to the satisfaction of a want which is felt more especially by Students in the Universities and elsewhere, who are reading for Holy Orders. Notwithstanding the multitude of authors who continue to enrich our stock of literature by expositions of the doctrine of the Articles, there has been no regular attempt to illustrate the framing of the Formulary itself, either by viewing it in connexion with the kindred publications of an earlier and a later date, or still more in its relation to the period out of which it originally grew. Very much of the material which is wanted has been doubtless gathered to our hands in the course of historical inquiries respecting the rise and progress of the English Reformation: yet as there must always be a large class of readers, anxious to be accurately informed, but precluded from consulting the voluminous collectors, such as Strype, Le Plat, or Wilkins, it has been thought that a hand-book like the present, if compiled in a fair and discriminating spirit, cannot fail to be as generally useful to the Church as some of the similar attempts to elucidate the Book of Common Prayer ST.
