Excerpt from The Story of the Prayer Book: Its Origin, Sources and Growth

Most of the works which give the history Of the Prayer Book with any approach to completeness, are too lengthy for the hasty general reader. It has seemed to me that there must be a place for a Shorter work which should still go over pretty nearly the whole ground. In this volume, therefore, I have tried to be brief as well as reason ably complete; and of course I have also tried to be truthful and accurate, and not entirely uninteresting.

The facts stated are such as are well known to students of the Prayer Book, and SO I have not deemed it necessary to en cumber the pages with notes and references. Such authorities have been consulted as seemed to be necessary, but not a great number. I append a list of them.

The making of this volume has given me benefit as well as pleasure, and I hope that others may receive similar benefit and pleas ure from its perusal. A. A. M.
