also useful for general church history.

b. SYNODS, CONVOCATION, AND CANON LAW.

Atterbury's work gave rise to much controversy. He boldly advocated the rights of the clergy in convocation, and was opposed by Gibson, Kennett, and Wake. For the proceedings of councils, see Nos. 616, 627, 631.

772. WAKE, WILLIAM. The state of the church and clergy of England in their councils, synods, convocations, etc. London, 1703. Valuable; the appendix contains many records.

c. TITHES AND CHURCH-RATES.

Selden still remains the most exhaustive and best authority on the history of tithes, though recent investigation has corrected some of his views, as, for example, his interpretation of Ethelwulf's donation. The tone of most of the other works mentioned below is controversial. Clarke upholds the ancient tripartite division of tithes between the clergy, the church fabric, and the poor; the opposite view is maintained by Easterby, Fuller, Hale, Selborne, and other recent authorities.

773. CLARKE, H. W. A history of tithes. 2nd edition, 1894.

This was written to supersede his History of Tithes from Abraham to Victoria, London, 1887.
