The Journal of William Dowsing of Stratford is a historical book that documents the life and work of William Dowsing, a parliamentary visitor who was appointed under a warrant from the Earl of Manchester. The book was written by Dowsing himself and published in 1885. The journal provides a detailed account of Dowsing’s travels throughout England, where he was tasked with visiting various churches and chapels to remove any signs of Catholicism or idolatry. This was part of a larger effort by the Puritan Parliament to reform the Church of England during the 17th century.Dowsing’s journal is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the religious and political turmoil of the time. It also provides insight into the mindset of a Puritan activist and the methods used to enforce religious conformity. The book is written in a straightforward, factual style, making it a useful resource for historians and scholars interested in this period of English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
