This book is addressed to catholic-minded persons who arc members of the Church of England, or Churches in communion with her. Such persons find themselves attacked from the side of Rome, and hear it denied that it is possible to be Catholics without being Roman Catholics. It is against such claims made upon us from the side of the Roman Church that the following pages are intended to be a defence, mostly in the way of explaining positively the Anglican position, and showing it to be both catholic and rational.
