Note 66 — THE GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF REVELATION.
Reading edition
Report of Evidence, 1870:—
Q. 376. I thought you said Bishop Butler had been excluded?—It is not excluded, but being an optional subject it is one that has been discouraged.
Q. 377. Why?—He is gone out of fashion; I do not know why.
Q. 378. Who makes the fashion?—I suppose the particular set of examiners at one time.
Q. 379. What are the works of Bishop Butler which have so gone out of fashion?—The Analogy and the Sermons were the books which we used to take up.
