GRESLEY, William. Church-Clavering; or, The Schoolmaster. James Burns. 1843
Half title (The Englishman's Library XXIV), front. Original light blue fine diaper cloth, blocked in blind, spine lettered in gilt; spine sl. faded. Bookplate of Charles Arthur Wynne Finch & signature M.E. Finch March 1 1843.
¶Not in Sadleir; Wolff 2762. Wolff's copy is rebound, and lacks the half title, the final leaf advertising the Rev. W. Gresley's works & the final 12pp inserted catalogue. William Gresley, 1801-76, curate at Lichfield, was a High Church vicar & a strong supported of Newman. Church Clavering argues for Church of England control of education.
