Book Portraits of the Archbishops of Canterbury  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Portraits of the Archbishops of Canterbury Classic Reprint written by Gladys Mary Bevan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of the Archbishops of Canterbury The idea of this book was suggested by the Guardroom at Lambeth, round which hang the portraits of Arch bishops of Canterbury from Arundel to Longley, the series being complete from Warham onwards. In the gallery leading to the Guardroorn are the portraits of the three last Archbishops, the picture of Dunstan, and the miniature of Sancroft, a case containing archiepiscopal coins, and another case containing the impressions made from archiepiscopal seals. In the absence of any reliable portraits before the time of Warham, the earlier Arch bishops can only be represented by the effigies on their tombs, coins, and seals, and by such pictures as those of Dunstan and Arundel, which, though of very doubtful authenticity as portraits, are included since they form part of the collection at Lambeth. The picture. Of Alphege is taken from an illuminated ms. By Osbem, who wrote within eighty years of the Archbishop's death.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chronicle of the Archbishops of Canterbury The prominent part played in English history by the arch bishops of Canterbury is a striking proof of the dominating influence exercised by the Christian Church in the making of our state and nation. Throughout many centuries few political or social crises occurred in our history in which the ruling successor of St. Augustine did not take a leading part. Though in this long line of illustrious prelates stretching from the sixth to the twentieth century many were justly accused of being led through ambition to neglect ecclesiastical for state affairs, yet of few can it be said that they died faithless at heart to the Church they served.

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury, Vol. 12 N compiling this index there have been two or three especial difficulties to contend with. As would naturally happen in a work of this kind, facts relating to the life of one Archbishop are frequently mentioned in the lives of his immediate predecessors and successors. These facts have been dealt with chronologically and not according to the succession of pages, so as to form as far as possible a continuous analysis of each life. All English bishops have been arranged under the headings of their several sees in those cases where they have successively occupied more than one see, they will usually be found under that one to which they were last translated, with cross-references under their names when it seemed necessary. Thus Lanfranc will be found under' canterbury, Archbishops of, ' with a Cross-reference under his own name.

As had been the case with Wolsey, so had it been with Crumwell; the king left to his minister the details of business, until there was an outcry among the people, and then Henry arose like a giant. He assumed the direction of affairs; he regained the popularity he dearly loved by throwing the blame of all past miscon duct ou the minister; and he was prepared to sacrifice the minister himself, if the sacrifice was demanded by the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Becket: Archbishop of Canterbury This biography is the result of an endeavour to sift and restate what has long been known about the great Englishman whose life has been written, perhaps, more frequently than that of any other hero Of the Middle Age. Twenty-one years ago I published on the same subject a volume (5. Thomas of Canterbury, D. Nutt, second edition, 1899) of translated extracts from the contemporary biographers and other chroniclers. I have not now used the translations I then made, but have either translated the Latin anew or used, with revision, the translations made more than sixty years ago by Mr. R. H. Froude and Dr. J. A. Giles, to whom, (the latter in Spite of some unforgotten blunders), in the nineteenth century we owe the revival of interest in the great chancellor and archbishop. Perhaps the Early Victorian style of some of these versions may even be preferred to the Wardour Street English of a modern translator. The importance of the original biographies themselves is so great, second indeed only to that of their subject, that I have given to them a separate treatment at the end of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury: From St. Augustine to Juxon They who distinguished between the one Catholic Church, and the sects by which it was surrounded, were nearly driven to despair when they found a Presbyte rian (such as James I. Was supposed to be) ascending the throne. It seemed like a miracle in answer to prayer, when the new king accepted the Church, and recognised its real position as a part of the constitution which he had inherited. The weakness of will on the part Of James I. And the weakness Of character, which, though united with sin cere piety, characterised Charles I., led to those events which we have to record in the biographies of Laud and Juxon, -to the martyrdom of a primate and the death of a king.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury, Vol. 3 F asti Eboracenses; or, Lives of the Archbishops of York, by Messrs. Dixon and Raine, will not interfere. Theirs is a valuable, learned, and important work; but Mr. Raine, in his preface, points out, with his usual clearness, the distinction between the object of their work, and that which is the aim of the present volumes. He states, that their work does not profess to be a history of the Church of England, or any part of it. It has nothing to do with what are called the times of the archbishops or of any of them. They write, he expressly informs us, ad clerum not ad populum, or, as he elsewhere playfully expresses it, for the bees, that is, for the philosophical enquirer and the historian, and not for the general reader, whom he compares to a less industrious insect. It is impossible to estimate too highly such works as those of Messrs. Dixon and Raine or, more important still, the Lives of the Judges, by Mr. Foss. They, as archaeologists, collect, with minute attention to details, the wild flowers of the desert, which the philosophical historian.
