Disestablishment and the Roots of Clerical Power
The author argues that sacral and clerical hierarchies together threaten liberty. He traces how Church endowment and state alliances foster papal-like power, urging removal of both state support and sacerdotal influence. Disestablishment must challenge the roots, not just cut isolated branches.

Lancashire Worthies: A Critical Review of Espinasse's Volume
The reviewer praises Espinasse's Lancashire Worthies for its selection and vivid portraits of nineteen figures including Crompton, Peel, Romney, Dalton, Bamford, and De Quincey. Noting minor factual slips, the piece commends the biographer’s skill in capturing typical traits, especially Crompton and Bamford, while critiquing some uneven treatments such as Whewell and De Quincey. The essay lauds the book as a valuable Lancashire study and a strong addition to regional literature.
