Excerpt from Retreats: Their Value, Organisation, and Growth Retreats in the Church of England seem to have been spontaneous in their origin, and for sixty years they have followed a natural course of development. Apparently no attempt was made to organise the movement until quite recently. This probably accounts for the fact that there has been no Anglican book dealing with the subject in all its aspects. The literature, hitherto, has been confined to volumes of Addresses some of which contained, in the form of an Introduction, a brief consideration of Scriptural and other precedents, together with a few suggestions for the guidance of conductors. Among them might be mentioned Retreats with Notes and Addresses, by the late Canon T. T. Carter of Clewer, which contained a reprint of an article first published in 1868 in The Church and the World. This and similar volumes seem to have met the need for a time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
