The Progress of Morals: Day 4

Number of sermons read: 11
Date range: 1829-1868
Authors of interest: The best known was Josiah Pratt. 
Running themes: apostolicity (CofE) vs. novelty (Catholic); Catholicism caters to man's sinful, fallen nature (yet again); Ireland; the Reformation; the dangers posed by Dissent.
Points of interest: This seems to have been a day for both excessive hyphenation and excessive exclamation points.  In any event, tomorrow brings on my first day spent entirely in the 1850s.

Impertinent questions: What are you doing when you're not working? How's the weather? How has London changed since the last time?

1. So far, I've been camped out in the BL from 9:30 to anywhere from 4:30-5:30, so there hasn't been much time for anything else (I'll do some sightseeing this weekend). I've wandered around a bit in Parliament Square, dropped in on a couple of museums, hung out on Charing Cross Rd.
2. Weather is surprisingly nice--almost no rain, a little cool but not unpleasantly so.
3. Most noticeable change since the last time I was here, three years ago: the CCTV cameras are everywhere.

Are you transcribing as you read, or will you go back later to transcribe the good ones? Just curious.

Can you explain a little about "apostolicity vs. novelty"? I'm curious how the Cof E makes a case for the RC being "novel," as you suggest.
