{22} The account of the discussion in the Convocation of York (Feb. 23,

of this paper on the action or rather inaction of the Northern
Convocation a very unfavourable opinion was expressed, in reference to
the manner in which the Southern Convocation had been treated. But these
things have long since been forgotten.

the Work of the American Committee of Revision_ (New York, 1885), p. 30.
This _Historical Account_ was prepared by a special Committee appointed
for the purpose in May, 1884, and was based on documents and papers
arranged with great care by Dr. Philip Schaff, the President of the
