This Week's Acquisitions

  • Evelyn Everett-Green, The Church and the King: A Tale of England in the Days of Henry VIII (T. Nelson and Sons, 1900).  Takes Henry's reign up through the Pilgrimage of Grace.  Heads roll, etc.  The prolific Everett-Green was the daughter of historian Mary Anne Everett Green.  (AbeBooks)
  • Kate Grenville, The Lieutenant (Canongate, 2009).  In the late eighteenth century, Lt. Daniel Rooke (based on William Dawes) tries to learn the language of the Cadigal.  (Amazon [secondhand])
  • E. B. Pusey, A Letter to the Right Rev. Father in God, Richard, Lord Bishop of Oxford, on the Tendency to Romanism, Imputed to Doctrines Held of Old, As Now, in the English Church (J. S. Redfield, 1843).  It's been a while since I added a tract to my collection.  In this one, Pusey defends Anglo-Catholics in general (and the authors of the Tracts for the Times in particular) of the charge that they are drifting Romeward.  Reprinted from the 2nd UK ed.  (eBay)
