ARCHBISHOP DAVIDSON AND THE ENGLISH CHURCH

Philip Allan & Co, London, 1929, 1st.  Hard cover, 249 pages including Index.  Navy blue cloth, front board ruled, gilt lettering on spine.  Bit of corner and spine end wear; some darkening to outer page block; hinges a bit loose.  No jacket.  Prior owner’s plate on FEP causing a bit of off-setting glued over another pencilled owner’s name.  Black& white frontis of Davidson; interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanned pages.  ‘… a strong man, sincere, steadfast, perhaps limited in sympathy, certainly incapable of always understanding the significance of novel movements and unusual demands, but never failing in his eagerness to serve the nation and Church.  That is the man whom I have endeavoured to describe in the following pages.  (from Introduction)
