clergyman and church historian. He was appointed regius professor of
ecclesiastical history at Oxford in 1856, a position he held until 1863. It was
there he began his History of the Jewish Church, publishing the
first volume in 1863 and the second in 1865. Stanley became Dean of Westminster
in 1863, publishing Memorials of Westminster Abbey in 1865, which
still serves today as one of the most comprehensive books about Westminster's
history. Multiple folds. Pencil notes (unknown hand). Toned. Lightly soiled.
