Excerpt from The Making of the Church of England: A. D. 597-1087; A Course of Historical Lectures Besides this reading on the part Of the students, I gave them in my Lectures much Of the cream of these and other valuable books in numerous Quota tions. And, as these quotations constitute the best part Of the Lectures, they are incorporated into the body Of this book, rather than consigned to the Oh scurity of foot-notes or appendices, on the principle that the cream should be on the top Of the milk, and not at the bottom. In addition to these more formal Lectures, in order that no guilty man might escape, I was always giving what I called Free and Easy Catechetical Lectures on the Text Of some good text-book, Wake man's or Patterson's, which the students were ex pected to study. By these varied methods I tried to make sure that every student should learn some thing Of English Church History, and should acquire some familiarity with the best Literature on the sub ject.
