Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford High Anglicanism: And Its Chief Leaders Materials for a history of modern Oxford Anglicanism have rapidly accumulated. Mr. Wilfrid Ward's two volumes giving the history of his father's life; Dean Church's History of the Oxford Movement and Dr. Pusey's Biography, - with the side-lights of Archbishop Tait's Life, the Letters of Mozley and Newman, and (though this, of course, was earlier), Bishop Wilberforce's Life, - added to the old basis of Newman's Apologia, and other publications of thirty years ago, have made it possible to gain an historical View which should not only be authentic and true, but living and complete, of the development of the Oxford High Angli can Movement from its earliest stirrings down to the present time. I have accordingly undertaken to write a history of that development, making it, as in the case of my volume on Modern Anglican Theology, a history woven in consider able part out of biographies, and in which What is living and personal is made the vehicle for conveying historical views of theological doctrines and principles, and of their influence and working.1 I have written frankly as a liberal and yet evangelical Protestant; still, I hope it will be seen and felt that I have taken pains to understand and have not unfairly represented the ideas with which I do.
