Church History
Charles Perry Scott, First Bishop in North China, by the Right Reverend Bishop Montgomery, D.D. (1928). Charles Perry Scott (1847-1927) was one of the first missionaries of the Church of England North China Mission. He was consecrated first Bishop of North China in 1880; he retired and died in 1927 after 53 years of missionary work. The online text of this biography includes four photographs of Scott, mission staff and the Cathedral of Our Saviour, Peking.

Christianity and Slavery; in a Course of Lectures preached at the Cathedral and Parish Church of St. Michael, Barbados, by Edward Eliot, B.D., Archdeacon of Barbados (1833). Eliot delivered these lectures on the duties of the Church of England and its ministers in light of slavery in the West Indies. His lectures insist on the right of priests to visit slaves on plantations, and he protests against the practice of forcing slaves to work on Sunday. Eliot also advocates literacy, religious instruction and the encouragement of marriage among the slave population. Slavery was abolished in Barbados in 1834. Among the noteworthy lectures in this collection are "The Duty of Preaching the Gospel to the Slaves in the West Indies," "The Progress of the Gospel in the West Indies," "Giving unto Servants That Which Is Just and Equal," and "Souls Not Saleable".

Writings by and about Archdeacon William Paley. 'Paley achieves an impressive number of hits in Goggle, but there is considerable inaccuracy about him across the board. He is a lightening rod for ID combatants (pro and con), but his range of interest to the world of ideas, and as a key Anglican thinker, is much greater than his role as the best known philosopher of Design (pre-Darwin), encompassing moral and political thought, biblical criticism, scientific ideas, economics, educational theory, ecclesiology, spirituality, toleration, and wit.'

Story of the Siege Hospital in Peking and Diary of Events from May to August, 1900. By Jessie Ransome, Deaconess, Church of England Mission, Peking (1901). Anglican Deaconess Jessie Ransome (d. 1905 [does anyone know when she was born?]) kept this vivid epistolary journal about her hospital work in Beijing during the Boxer Rebellion. 'The crops are ripening, and yet there is no one to be seen in the usually busy fields. War is very sad,' she writes.

Worth Noting
Anarchy, Church and Utopia: Rowan Williams on Church, by Theo Hobson, is reviewed in the Church Times by David Martin. '...it offers a sharply angled cut into the Archbishop's ecclesiology to bring out an instability that is arguably of the essence of Christianity. To locate this instability in one who is 'simply the best' illumines more than its subject.'

Lancelot Andrewes: A Perennial Preacher of the Post-Reformation English Church, by Marianne Dorman, is reviewed in the Church Times by Kenneth Stevenson. 'Each of the 14 chapters uses the description "perennial" to emphasise Dorman’s point that, though Andrewes lived long ago, in a very different world,with a very different social-ecclesiastical setting, and surrounded by a very different theological climate, he none the less speaks across the centuries.'

Tree of Knowledge, Tree of Life, by Richard Chartres, is reviewed in the Church Times by David Winter. 'This collection of sermons by the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, is something of a curate's egg, if one may say that about an episcopal offering. Some of the addresses are brilliant, probing insistently a question that haunts the whole book: what is wisdom, and how does it relate to knowledge?"
