Bookplate and sticker to the front paste down. Stamp to the title page. The Tractarian or Oxford Movement, started in the 1830s, was a movement of high church members of the Church of England, mainly associated with the University of Oxford. The movement argued for the reinstatement of older Christian traditions and their inclusion into Anglican liturgy and theology. The movement's philosophy was known as Tractarianism after its publications, the Tracts for the Times, published from 1833 to 1841. This work contains a history of the movement and includes letters between members, in annals from 1842 to 1860.
