Excerpt from How Shall We Conform to the Liturgy of the Church of England?: With Two Articles on Ultra-Ritualism From the 'Quarterly Review' (1867-9) The first edition of the work which fills the greater part of this volume was published in 1843, and a second edition (considerably increased in size) followed in 1844. The book has long been out of print, and I had thought of it as having passed away with the circumstances by which it was called forth. Within the last few years, however, it has been frequently quoted, and from more than one quarter suggestions have been made to me that it should be reprinted. It seemed to me that, if the book were to be used at all, an improved edition was desirable, but here a serious difficulty arose out of the great changes which have taken place with regard to the subject of it. Was I to suppose that our ritual questions were exactly the same, and in the same state, as in 1843-4? pr should all reference to that time be discarded, and should I look exclusively to the stage which we have now reached?
