http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122576378

The Lyall papers contain over 700 manuscript letters covering the period from 1844 to 1865, as well as 100 printed items. Letters to Lyall from other clergymen and interested laymen comprise the bulk of the collection. This correspondence relates to the affairs of the English Church Union (E.C.U.) and the Society of the Holy Cross (S.H.C.) (organizations formed as a part of the High Church Movement), the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (S.P.G.), and various London missions. Letters from Lyall's mother and uncle (William Rowe Lyall) relate to Lyall's marriage to the sister of his deceased first wife. This marriage created controversy within the Church of England. The printed material includes announcements of Vestry meetings for St. Dionis, Blackchurch parish, announcements concerning the E.C.U., S.P.G., and Sion College, as well as various London missions and philanthropic organizations.
