Excerpt from Letters on Anglican Orders and Other Matters The remainder of the book is of general interest; of vital interest, indeed, to all high churchmen, and believers in the necessity of apostolical succession. It has been a question with the writer, in thus reproducing this important subject, whether the matter should be remodelled altogether, and assume the less discursive and less desultory form of a regular treatise. After due deliberation, the form of letters has been retained, for several reasons. First, the alterations necessary for a more exclusive and methodical dissertation would really necessitate the production of an entirely new work. Secondly, the Letters, though principally, are not exclusively devoted to the subject of Anglican Orders.
