PREFATORY NOTE.

The following Addresses form the Charge to the Archdeaconry of
Cirencester at the Visitation held at the close of October in the present
year. The object of the Charge, as the opening words and the tenor of
the whole will abundantly indicate, is seriously to suggest the question,
whether the time has not now arrived for the more general use of the
Revised Version at the lectern in the public service of the Church.

C. J. GLOUCESTER.

_October_, 1901.
