Excerpt from Reasons for Returning to the Church of EnglandIn laying these reasons before the public, I hope that I am not transgressing the rules of modesty, or thrusting my own private and per sonal affairs before the world. After all, it may be said, there is nothing very surprising in the fact that a person should change his mind on religious subjects, or that having joined the Church of Rome, he should afterwards discover that he had not thoroughly mastered the momentous question between that Church and the rest of Christendom.
