Excerpt from The Importance of the Reign of Queen Anne in English Church History: The Gladstone Memorial Essay for 1911 To deal with a congested period like that from 1702 - 14 within the statutory limits of 12,500 words is a thankless task. Much has had to be sacrificed and the present "pamphlet" can have no pretensions to completeness. It is but a slender outline which may at some time be elaborated into a larger, more satisfying volume. My best thanks are due to my first teacher of history, Prof. T. F. Tout, M.A., for characteristic and illuminating hints, and to Prof. C. W. C. Oman for so kindly ushering this publication into the world.
