Disestablishment and Patronage in the English Church Debate
The piece critiques a book by Mr. Freeman on disestablishment and patronage, arguing patronage may be legally valued but should end with disendowment. It notes changes already affecting church power, the shift to denominational establishment, and contrasts endowments for the whole nation versus sectarian gifts. It concludes that disestablishment fits within the constitutional path already visible in public law.
