Excerpt from The Note Book of an American Parson in England

My duty being irregular, I was not confined to any particular parish, or diocese, but used the Archbishop's license as a kind of roving commission to visit any church within His Grace's province, which includes twenty-seven dioceses and during my six years' residence in England I took duty in almost all of these dioceses and occasionally strayed beyond the province of Canterbury into the territory of His Grace, the Archbishop of York, for which I was once brought very per emptorily to book.

I was sent to churches of all degrees, High and Low, Broad and Evangelical, in town and in country, and I have thus seen and studied the Church of England at work, under exceptional, and I think I may say unique, circumstances. But it is not as a critic of the Church of England that I write, but merely as an observer, and my experi ences are given chiefly for the entertainment they may provide the reader, an entertainment, I think I can promise.
