Disestablishment and Disendowment Debate in Manchester
Frederic Harrison's lecture on disestablishment prompts a detailed Pall Mall Gazette response.

The essay distinguishes church and charitable property, noting that church assets are held for specified uses by public authority while other endowments follow their creators' trusts.
