""A Plan, For Abolishing Pluralities, And Non-Residence, In The Church Of England, By Increasing The Value Of Poor Livings, Without Spoliation, In A Letter To Lord Henley"" is a book written by George Townsend in 1833. The book outlines a plan to abolish the practice of having multiple church positions (pluralities) and the neglect of duties by clergy members (non-residence) in the Church of England. The author proposes that the value of poor livings, or less financially profitable church positions, be increased without taking away from the wealthier positions. The book is written in the form of a letter to Lord Henley, a prominent figure in the Church of England at the time. The book provides a detailed analysis of the problems with the current system and offers a practical solution that would benefit both the Church and its members.With A Postscript Tot He Church Reformation Society, And The Draft Of An Act Of Parliament.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
