The Rise and Fall of the High Commission is a historical book written by Roland Greene Usher and published in 1913. The book is a detailed study of the High Commission, a powerful institution of the English Church during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. The High Commission was responsible for enforcing religious conformity and suppressing dissent within the Church of England.Usher's book provides a comprehensive account of the High Commission's origins, powers, and activities. He traces its development from its creation in 1559 to its eventual abolition in 1641. The book also examines the controversies and conflicts that surrounded the High Commission, including its role in the persecution of Catholics and Puritans.The author uses a range of primary sources, including official documents, letters, and diaries, to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the High Commission's impact on English society and politics. He also explores the wider context of religious and political change in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.Overall, The Rise and Fall of the High Commission is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English Church and the politics of the early modern period. Usher's book provides a fascinating insight into the workings of one of the most powerful institutions of the time and sheds light on the complex religious and political dynamics of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
