England Under the Stuart Kings by the Rev. F. G. Llewellyn, B.D., D.Litt. London: Protestant Truth Society, 31 Cannon Street, E.C.4. Price, 3/6d.
Mr. Llewellyn in the above volume gives an interesting summary of British religious history under the Stuart Kings. This line, with their infatuated obsession of the doctrine of the divine right of kings never seemed to learn lessons in all their misfortunes until the Line was driven from the British throne. Mr. Llewellyn has done his work well. Here and there, there are expressions which we would prefer otherwise put—for instance, when he speaks of the Presbyterian ministers, who were doing their best to turn that unmitigated rascal, Charles II, into a good Presbyterian, as “rather bigoted.” These ministers had a tough piece of material to deal with and though deceived they had good intentions.
