About the author

Rev. George Cornelius Gorham (B.A., Queen's College, Combridge, 1809) was a controversial vicar of the Church of England. He was ordained a deacon in 1811 and priest on 23 February 1812. His civil suit against the Bishop of Exeter contesting his blocked appointment to a vicarage in the latter's jurisdiction led to a doctrinal decision in the Privy Council, which in turn led to threats to excommunicate the Archbishop of Canterbury and eventually a schism in which fourteen prominent Anglicans left for the Roman Catholic Church.
