Item description from seller

2 vols.: viii, 430 + viii, 370 p.; 23 cm. 128 letters; text of Lord Ebury's Acts of Uniformity amendment bill 1863, and index. Richard Whately wrote, probably to Hildyard, from the Archbishop's Palace, Dublin: Dec. 10, 1959 - `Rev. Sir,--The wish that our Liturgy should be agreeable to Scripture must be common to all sincere Christians, how much soever they may differ among themselves as to what is agreeable to Scripture. But the point I was dwelling on (in the letter to Lord Ebury) is the importance of calling each distinct thing by its own right name, instead of confusedly blending together by means of a common title two things which are neither identical nor inseparable. If any one thinks that there is need both of a doctrinal reformation of the Church and also of a revised Liturgy,let him plainly say so.But evidently it is at least conceiv able that some men may wish for the one of these and not for the other--may wish for no change in the doctrines of the Church, and yet may wish for the abridgment of some services that are tedious, and the alteration of some phrases that are obsolete or ambiguous. This latter is what I understood Lord Ebury to have in view. As for my own views upon some of the points that are debated, it may be worth while to mention that I very much concur with Archbishop Sumner, with the late Bishop Ryder, and Mr. Simeon, from whose works I have extracted some passages in the appendix to my little tract on the Sacraments.' (Life and correspondence, 1866, vol. 2, p. 377 f.) To another party: `Now to me it appears that true Christianity is a very quiet and deliberate religion. It keeps the steam acting on the wheels, instead of noisily whizzing out at the safety valve.' (p. 379) Fair set in slate cloth, backstrips chipped and abraded.…
