Letter accompanying Sidney Herbert's proposals for the better application of cathedral institutions to their intended uses, 1849 Mar 27.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702176881

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a letter marked "Private," dated March 27, 1849 from 5 Carlton Gardens, signed by Sidney Herbert, and sent to "a member of our chapter." In the letter, Herbert tells his correspondent he is venturing to send him the accompanying pamphlet; asks for any advice or suggestions; mentions that he has already received much encouragement from persons whose opinions he values; and notes that although some portions of his plan are clearly beset by too much difficulty to proceed, such as the affiliation of chapter colleges to the universities, improvement is already being made in some chapters and he hopes shortly to see a pastoral college in direct connection with a cathedral. The letter is accompanied by a copy of Herbert's privately printed pamphlet titled Proposals for the better application of cathedral institutions to their intended uses; in a letter to the very Rev. the Dean of Salisbury. The pamphlet is interleaved with a handwritten treatise by Hugh Percy, Bishop of Carlisle, on the efficacy of Herbert's proposal and on the fundamental soundness of the charters and statutes of the chapters themselves.

According to the Canons of 1604, XLIX-LII, of the Church of England, only those persons whose faith and learning are known to their bishop are licensed to preach.
