In previous Lectures I have not spoken of the history of the Church of England since the accession of Charles II. to the throne. I shall not be able to dwell upon many important events which happened to our Church during the next two centuries succeeding that event. Our subject to-night is the Oxford Movement, which began in the year 1833.

Before proceeding to speak on this, you may, however, like to have the general outline of the Church's fortunes during the time where we left our history last week and the year 1833, of which I shall speak to-night.
