Powers is a historical account of the English Reformation, a period of religious and political upheaval in England during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.

The book also explores the social and cultural impact of the Reformation, including the changes in religious practices, the rise of Protestantism, and the emergence of a new English identity.Overall, ""England and the Reformation A.D. 1485-1603"" provides a comprehensive and detailed account of one of the most significant periods in English history, offering insights into the religious, political, and cultural changes that shaped the nation and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
