Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This work investigates the complex political and religious tensions surrounding the proposed establishment of an Anglican episcopate in the American colonies prior to the Revolution. Arthur Lyon Cross, a distinguished historian of the period, utilizes extensive archival research and primary source documentation to analyze how the fear of ecclesiastical authority contributed to the growing divide between the colonies and the British government. The text argues that the struggle over the appointment of bishops was not merely a religious dispute but a significant factor in the development of American political identity and resistance to imperial control.
