Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Archibald Campbell Tait, Vol. 2 of 2: Archbishop of Canterbury At the moment when Archibald Campbell Tait succeeded to the Primacy, the public mind was occupied with a question exciting, perhaps, a wider interest than any other ecclesiastical controversy of our time. When he received Mr. Disraeli's letter informing him that his name was to be submitted to the Queen, Parliament had already been dissolved, the general election was in a few days to begin, and the issue before the electors had been narrowed to the single question - Should the Irish Church be disestablished? The nomination of Bishop Tait was thus one of Mr, Disraeli's last official acts, and when, on January 5th, 1869, the new Primate went to Osborne to do homage to the Queen, Mr, Gladstone had already been a month in office, with the knowledge that he had in the House of Commons a majority of more than a hundred members pledged to carry the verdict of the constituencies into immediate effect. The subject of the Irish Church was one with which the new Archbishop was, both by education and temperament, peculiarly well qualified to deal.
