_Schlegel on Church Property in England._--Fr. Schlegel, in his
_Philosophy of History_, says, p. 403., "in England and Sweden church
property remained inviolate:" what the case may be in Sweden I do not
know, but it appears strange that a man of such general knowledge as F.
Schlegel should make such an assertion as regards England.
