BARING-GOULD
(Sabine, 1834-1924, Divine and Author)
Fine Early Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Alwood
thanking him "for the review. It is rather savage, but I think my book is calculated to exasperate those who do not go in for the same line. I do not doubt that curates would be far more subject to injustice if left to the tender mercies of incumbents, but what I complain of is that they are at the tender mercies of any one, & have no recognised positions,. Ascending to ancient Canon law no priest in a diocese could be suspended or deprived without being tried by the bishops & synod, the synod elected by all the priests of the diocese. That was constitutional. Every man who has rights should have a guarantee for the unimpeded exercise of them. Some friends of mine, curates, have been treated with gross injustice, & if they had cared to make their cases public would have roused indignation against the Bishops, but then - how about their own future prospects? What other bishops would receive them into their dioceses? I will lend you In Exitu Israelif you like. Can you not come over & lunch with me some day, see the Church & carry off the book. I am now working up the ... schism in Bohemia as a profitable subject to exhibit the stupidity of Rome in missing an occasion of conciliating. The second volume of my Origin & Development will not appear till the excitement of the war is over, though it is printed. War has a bad effect on the sale of books ...", 2 sides closely written 8vo., Daltons Parsonage, Thirsk, 27th August
