Excerpt from Church and State: Thoughts Applicable to Present Conditions: Collected From the Writings of the Right Rev. George Ridding, D.D., First Bishop of Southwell

The facts and arguments concerning Church and State, set forth in this volume, have been gathered from addresses which were delivered by the Bishop on various occasions, between 1885 and 1904, in his diocese.

At the time of their delivery they were welcomed as important contributions to the armoury of those who were then engaged in the defence of the Church against the attacks of her opponents. Now, when these assaults are being repeated, when the same assertions that he met are being circulated concerning her historical position and endow ments, I hope that the Bishop's short sum maries and statements of broad principles and historical facts may be found as service able to Church defenders as in the days when they were first presented by him.
