PREFACE.

THE purpose of this volume is to supply a summary view of the Origin, History, Constitution Institutions, and Work of the Church of England, so arranged that the reader may easily find the information of which he is in search, to which end a copious index gives its aid.

The compiler has to acknowledge his large obligations to the Year-Book of the Church of England for the facts of the Institutions and current work of the Church; and begs to refer the reader to its volumes for fuller details of this part of the subject.
