Excerpt from Proposals for the Better Application of Cathedral Institutions to Their Intended Uses: In a Letter to the Very Rev. The Dean of SalisburyThere is no doubt that the population of this country has far outgrown our means of religious instruction, and the efforts hitherto made to remedy the evil have proved inadequate even to keep pace with its daily growth.Among Churchmen, whether Clergy or Laity, there is no dispute on the matter.Many, not professed Members of the Church, but looking upon her as the main trunk of Christianity in this country, and the readiest and most powerful in strument by which these new populations may berescued from what, in truth, is Heathenism, will assent to any measures by which the field of her ministrations may be extended, provided no call be made on the public purse.Churchmen themselves entertain in the interests of the Church equally strong objections to asking ass'ist ance from the Exchequer. I share that objection. This, at any rate, is certain, that, if assistance be asked in that quarter, it will not be given.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
