Publisher's Synopsis
""A Layman's Life in the Days of the Tractarian Movement"" is a memoir written by John Edward Acland and published in 1904. The book provides a personal account of Acland's experiences during the Tractarian Movement, a religious movement in the Church of England during the mid-19th century that aimed to bring the church back to its Catholic roots. Acland, a layman, was a close friend of several prominent figures of the movement, including John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey. In his memoir, he recounts his interactions with these individuals and their impact on his own spiritual journey. The book also provides a glimpse into the social and political climate of the time, including the Oxford Movement, the rise of the High Church movement, and the controversy surrounding the Tractarian Movement. Acland's memoir offers a unique perspective on a significant period in the history of the Church of England and provides insight into the personal experiences of those involved in the movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
