Oaths: Their Origin, Nature, and HistoryFb&c Limited, 27.6.2015 - 358 sivua Excerpt from Oaths: Their Origin, Nature, and History The following Treatise had been designed, and was in a forward state of preparation for the press, before the Bishop of London announced in the House of Lords, his intention to bring the subject of Oaths, as now administered in England, under the notice of Parliament; when his sentiments were cordially hailed by the Lord Chancellor. The effect of this announcement on my mind was far from discouraging. I received it as an intimation that the present time opened a favourable opportunity to any one who believed that he was able to assist in throwing light on this important, but ill-understood subject.
