character as an institutionintimately connected with the State.Only one book-the Book,the Bible-affected decisively the Church in Tudor England.The English Bible in the sixteenth century will be treated in aseparate Folger pamphlet.The present pamphlet describes otherbooks,some famous,others once famous though now no longerso,but all of them useful as a means of recalling the
