Notes of my Life, 1805-1878 George Anthony Denison publisher: James Parker and Co, Oxford and London, 1878. lovely leather binding though front cover split at spine detached though still attached via buff front endpaper; owner name at the top of title page; 415 pages with letter dated and signed by author 1875 laid in. George Anthony Denison (1805–1896) was an English Anglican priest. He served as Archdeacon of Taunton from 1851...On 7 August and 6 November 1853, he preached two sermons in Wells Cathedral on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, taking a position similar to that for which Edward Bouverie Pusey had been suspended ten years before. He resigned his position as examining chaplain to the Bishop of Bath and Wells owing to his pronounced eucharistic views. A suit on the complaint of a neighbouring clergyman ensued and after various complications, Denison was condemned by the archbishop's court at Bath (1856).[4] The judgment did not pass unchallenged, and that autumn a protest was issued arguing that Denison's teaching conformed with the best Anglican authorities. The protest was signed by fifteen of the most prominent Anglo-Catholics of the time, including Pusey, John Keble, and J. M. Neale...The case was significant for the various writings on the Eucharist that followed. In 1857, before the Court of Appeals had rendered its decision, John Keble wrote one of his more important works, his treatise on eucharistic adoration, in support of Denison.

This was a great purchase and I couldn’t be more pleased with the buying experience from this seller. The item was offered by the seller at a very reasonable price and once I made my purchase and paid for the item, the seller shipped it and it arrived in great condition. The seller’s packaging was superb and the item was perfectly protected in the mail. The item is a beautiful, high quality piece of literature and it’s a great addition to my library. I can’t recommend this seller highly enough.
