‘Written with remarkable knowledge and power. The author has done his work diligently 
and conscientiously. Throughout, we see a man who has known much of men and of life: the 
pure Anglican divine, who at every step has been accustomed to make good his cause against 
Romanism on the one hand and against Puritanism on the other. We must express our high 
sense of the value of this work. We heartily like the general spirit, and are sure that the author 
has bestowed upon his work a loving labour, with an earnest desire to find out the truth. To the 
general reader it wili convey much information in a very pleasant form; to the student it will 
give the means of filling up the outlines of Church history with life and colour.’ 
Quarterly Review, July 1862. 
4 If the grandeur of a drama may be conjectured from the quality of the opening symphony, 
we should be inclined to anticipate from the introductory volume that English literature is about 
to receive an imperishable contribution, and that the Church will in after-times rank among the 
fairest and the ablest of her historians the author of this work.’— Ath ena:um. 
‘Dr. Hook is throughout fair, and more than fair. He really understands his characters, 
and does not praise or condemn from any cut-and-dried nineteenth-century standard. In such a 
work this is one of the first and rarest of all merits, and we know no ecclesiastical writer who 
can lay claim to this pre-eminent merit in a higher degree than Dr. Hook.’— Saturday Review. 
‘ The work of a powerful mind and of a noble and generous temper. There is in it a freedom 
from any narrowness of spirit.’— Guardian.
