Description
VERY little has to be added now to what was stated above when these short Poems were first collected into a volume. They were contemporaneous, on their first appearance in 1833, with the " Tracts for the Times," and the " Church of the Fathers," being contributions month by month, as were the papers called the " Church of the Fathers," to the " British Magazine." All three had one object, that of enforcing what the authors considered to be Apostolical or Primitive Christianity, at a time when its principles, doctrines, discipline, usages, and spirit seemed, in the length and breadth of the Anglican Communion, to be well-nigh forgotten. The " Lyra Apostolica," on the whole, took the ethical side of Christianity ; the Tracts, the theological and controversial; while the "Church of the Fathers " was mainly historical.
Neither the Lyra nor the Tracts were written
with the profession of being finished compositions,
but with the simple purpose of startling, of rousing, of suggesting thought, and of offering battle, in the cause of the Ancient Church.
