Rev. Henry John Todd's "Life of Archbishop Cranmer, Vol. 1," v.

PREFACE. The Preface promises to deliberatively look at the faults and merits of the great English Reformer. He lists the stock notables of detractors—Sanders, Pollini, Rosotto, Cardinal Allen, Dr. Champney’s, Person, and Bishop Milner. He briefly lists the four appreciative champions and historians—Foxe, Parker, Burnet, and Strype. Rev. Todd gives a wonderful ancestral tree of the Cranmers backwards to the 13^th century and forwards into the 17^th century. “The name certainly still exists” (xi). Further, he discusses the issue of armorial heraldry and a variety of portraits, including the famous Flicke portrait of 1546 with Dr. Cranmer holding a Bible in his hand and, on the table, Augustine’s De Fide et Operibus.
