The Duty of a Christian People under Divine Visitations, by Newton Smart 49126 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/4/9/1/2/49126 ] [Files: 49126-0.txt; 49126-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the book was occasioned by the outbreak of Cholera at various seaports in England, around 1832. The Rev. Smart thought this was God's punishment against a sinful people and in the book lists the multiple failings of the English and demands repentance and reform. He's also very worried about the future of the Church of England which had started to come under attack from "free thinkers" and, he felt, scientists. It's an alternate response to the issues of the times to that provided by the Tractarian movement, which started at more or less the same time. All the best, David, Sunny England

Church Ministry in Kensington, by John Philip Gell 49116 [Subtitle: A Recent Case of Hieratical Teaching Scripturally Considered] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/4/9/1/1/49116 ] [Files: 49116.txt; 49116-h.htm] For those wishing to know: John Philip Gell was an evangelical Church of England clergyman (Perpetual Curate of St. John's Notting Hill, London) when we came across a book by a fellow Vicar, Mayow Wynell Mayow (see release 49115) containing sermons preached in nearby Brompton. Gell wrote this small pamphlet in reponse to Wynell's book. It's a very well done piece of criticism but Gell got the title wrong - Mayow preached in Brompton, not Kensington - an easy mistake to make. All the best, David, Darkest England and the wind is getting up again
