Purchase In The Church, Etc. (1878)

By William Angus

Book Overview

In the book ""Purchase In The Church, Etc."" published in 1878, author William Angus explores the controversial topic of purchasing positions and promotions within the Church of England. He delves into the historical background of the issue, tracing it back to the Middle Ages and examining the various forms it has taken over time.
