Excerpt from Aid to the Book of Common Prayer: Its Origin and History and Other Information Concerning the Services of the Church; With an Appendix of "the Chief Christian Emblems" And "a Glossary of Ecclesiastical Terms"

We have large books, and perhaps a few of moderate size, upon the subject; but we want something simple in plan and published at a price to be within the reach of the majority of the church-going public. It is greatly to be regretted that, while there is abundance of little works to be found in every bookshop on almost every subject which one can think of, there is an absence of any such as I speak of.

I have made an humble effort in the following pages to do what others might have done better, but what has been altogether left undone.

There is no pretence of originality in this little work. The various forms, etc., are for most part adaptations or extracts, and little belongs to the Compiler but a few words and phrases and the string which binds the whole together.
