Excerpt from The Anglo-Saxon Church: Its History, Revenues and General Character

The call for a Second Edition of this work is a gratifying testimony to the growing desire for such information as it offers. The importance of its pecuniary statements is overlooked by no party. Most Englishmen, partial to the religion of their fathers, feel an interest in tracing existing endowments to the very dawn of national legislation. Tythes admit of no question, and church-shots naturally seem the origin and representatives of the modern church-rate. Light-shot carries that character on the very face, and an universal obligation to church-repair must have been established long before, or it would not be distinctly recognised in the very ancient statute of Circumspecte agatis. Candid minds are glad of such facts, as answers to any who would ground church-rates upon unproved and improbable charges of clerical artifice. Clergymen still maintain chancels and cathedrals. Those who remember the church-shots, and distinguish minster tythe from parochial, will probably think their ancient liabilities to have been no greater.

Subjects of less temporary interest, must also have contributed to the success of this undertaking.
