About the book
In his pamphlet, Is the Vicar of Brompton a Tractarian? A Question for the Parishioners, Arthur Ellis proposed the question regarding Reverend William Josiah Irons. Published in 1855 the booklet contains four letters passed between Dr. Irons and him soon after the public meeting relative to the Papal Aggression in 1850. In the Correspondence between Dr. Irons and Ellis, it can be witnessed that he addressed him under the belief that he was with the «Tractarian» party. In the end, he leaves the question to the judgment of those who may read this pamphlet. Tractarianism, also known as The Oxford Movement, was a movement of high church members of the Church of England which ultimately evolved into Anglo-Catholicism. The movement's philosophy was known as Tractarianism after its series of publications, the Tracts for the Times, from 1833 to 1841.
