Preface
The object of the following pages is to give a brief
sketch of that Revival in the English Church which has
been Era. In onea marked feature of the Victorian
sense, indeed, it dates from the reign of William IV.,
for it began with the Oxford Movement of but1833;
that movement beginning to make itselfwas only just
generally felt when Queen Victoria ascended the throne;
so the Revival may with the strictest propriety be said
to belong "The Anglicanto the Victorian period.
Revival" and *'The Oxford Movement" are by no
means convertible terms; if they were, the present
sketch would Oxfordbe superfluous, for the movement
has been handled by many pens; but there is not, so
far as I am aware, any one single volume which gives a
succinct account of the Anglican Revival. That revival
owes a considerable part of its success to men who

carefully guarded themselves from being identified with
it, and collisionwho, on occasions, were brought into

first and most effective impulse to the revival, and its

work, which, though written by one who necessarily
regarded the subject from the clerical point of view, has
had the great advantage of passing through the crucible
theof a competent lay criticism. Mr. Holland Rose,J.
editor of the series, has carefully examined and freely
criticised every part of it, and I desire thus publicly to
express my deep obligation to him for his invaluable
aid.
