AN INTRODUCTION to the History of the Successive Revisions

of the

Book of Common Prayer.

By JAMES PARKER,

Hon. M.A. Oxon.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"To review this book in detail, or to do anything like justice either to the value of its contents, or to the extraordinary labour and skilful pains bestowed on it by its compiler, would require a lengthy and extended article. There can be no doubt that now at last there need be no difficulty about tracing the real history and drift of every disputed word and phrase in our Offices . . . by the simple act of reference to Mr. Parker's convenient and intelligible volume."-Church Quarterly Review, April, 1877.

....

"We scarcely know how adequately to express our admiration of the painstaking and conscientious labour that has been bestowed upon its compilation. Everything is so fairly and fully detailed that, but for the Preface, we might scarcely have been able to detect the writer's own opinion, except so far as every one who knows and understands the subject must be of the same opinion. It is impossible within our limits to do anything like justice to such an accumulation of matter as the volume contains. It gives in exact chronological order the whole history of the English Prayer and Service Books, from the Order of the Communion' of March 8, 1548, down to the Sealed Books of 1662, including the Welsh and the French versions. . . . . We have extended our remarks on the earlier portions of this volume so far that we are obliged to leave unnoticed the remainder of the work, which is equally valuable, and must have cost the editor an enormous amount of labour. We must content ourselves with saying that it contains a most minute and elaborate account of the mode in which the changes in the Prayer-Book of 1662 were suggested, and adopted or not as it happened. While such a book is at hand to be referred to, we think no one will be found with the audacity to assert that the Reformers of Edward the Sixth's reign left the Church and its Prayer-Book pretty much as it is to be found at the present day, as was rashly asserted by Archbishop Laurence of Cashel in his celebrated 'Bampton Lectures' of 1807."-Academy, Aug. 25, 1877.

"It is impossible to exaggerate the interest of this inner history of a complicated period, which lets us into secrets at every step, and which would supply us with texts for a score of treatises. Not least should be mentioned the minute labour which this work has cost the learned and accomplished author, and which has made it an entirely indispensable authority for the student of the history of the Book of Common Prayer."-Church Review, Sept. 22, 1877.
