AN ECCLESIASTICAL BIOGRAPHY, CONTAINING THE Libes of Ancient Fathers and Modern Divines, INTERSPERSED WITH NOTICES OF HERETICS AND SCHISMATICS, FORMING A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN EVERY AGE. BY WALTER FARQUHAR HOOK, D.D. VICAR OF LEEDS. VOL. II. LONDON: F. AND J. RIVINGTON; PARKER, OXFORD; J. AND J. J. DEIGHTON, CAMBRIDGE; PREFACE. THIS Work will be continued in Monthly Parts, and be ready, as before, for delivery with the magazines. It is considered by many desirable to receive the work in Parts, as it enables them, without difficulty, to read it through, and so to obtain an acquaintance with Ecclesiastical History, as well as with the character and principles of our chief Saints and Divines. Arrangements have been made to publish each future Part so as to render it complete in itself; that is to say, any biography which is commenced will be given entire, although the average number of pages (60) be exceeded, a proportionate deduction being made from the number of pages in the succeeding Part. The price is fixed as low as possible, and unless there were many subscribers to the work, it could not be maintained. |
