"This book is an attempt made, I believe, for the first time, to present a comprehensive view of the growth of Constitutional Church Government in the Dominions beyond the Seas. Its chief merit will probably lie in the extensive collection of Constitutions and original documents which it contains. .... To add value to the work I have given in an Appendix the Church Constitutions at present existing in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland." -- Preface.
