Ecclesiastical Notes on Irish Church Question
The article examines church journals for private clerical opinions on the Irish Church issue. It argues that journals reveal the drift of opinion more than public letters, noting that few writers publish publicly while those who do hold influence among peers.
Church Opinion Divides Over Endowment and Disestablishment
The piece surveys editorial and clerical views on Irish Church endowment versus disestablishment. It notes John Bull and Guardian stances urging freedom or stronger establishment, and cites clergy advocates for self governance beyond state control.
