Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Edition. Hardback. Wear and tear to D/J. 'Things are preached not in they are taught, but in that they are published'. There could be no better epigraph that this observation of Richard Hoker for the wide-ranging anthology within which John Chandos has brought together the finest flowering of the preacher's art - the art practised over rather more than a hundred years, from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, between the Act of Supremacy and the Act of Uniformity. Hooker, says Mr. Chandos, 'put a diving finger on the nature of the process which was to grow into the first strategic exercise in popular communications in the history of England',586 pp.

Hutchinson, London. 1971. First edition. Hardback with DW. Large thick 8vo. Black cloth gilt boards have a rubbed spine. Wrapper browned with slight wear and some small tears. Light foxing to page edges, otherwise a nice clean copy.
