8vo., First Edition; sewed as issued, wanting original wrappers (but binding wholly sound), a very good, bright, clean copy. First edition of Archbishop Benson's famous 'Lincoln Judgment', following the ecclesiastical trial of Edward King, Lord Bishop of Lincoln, charged with eight ritual offences carried out in the Diocese of Lincoln. One of the most important ecclesiastical trials relating to the Oxford Movement, the case delivered two fundamental judgements.

A rare survival.
