Description

First Edition, Very Scarce

The first edition of this very scarce work, which gathers together papers submitted to members of the university.

The introduction explains that the suggested alternative of requiring students to sign up to the thirty-nine articles of the Church of England is that students should provide 'either a verbal or written Declaration that the matriculated person will conform to the worship of the Church of England'.
