To such diligent and accurate scholars of medieval worship as Dr. Rock, and the more recent exertions of Dr. Henderson, Canon Raine, the late Archdeacon Freeman, and Messrs. Proctor, Wordsworth, Dickinson, and Seager, not to mention a host of other enthusiastic students Of sacred archaeology Mackenzie vvalcott - to such men the clergy and better-read laity of the Anglican Church owe it that a comparatively new branch Of theological education has sprung up nor does it appear at all improbable that the revival of antiquarian research into the uses and glories of our great ecclesiastical establishments in the days of their highest beauty and perfection, architectural as well as ceremonial, will have a very distinct influence upon those members of the Church whose objection to a more ornate, and, to say the least, decent and cheerful performance of Divine Service, is merely founded on the argument of disuse, and increased by an ignorance of the extraordinary mutilations, violent transitions, and successive revisions to which our Book of Common Prayer has been unmercifully subjected.

Mr. Chambers, in his exhaustive work on Divine Worship in England in the 13th and 14th Centuries, observes that it is historically certain that at no period during the existence Of the Church of Christ was Divine Worship and the Celebration of the Sacra ments conducted with such impressive earnestness, reverence, decorum, and refined splendour as between the years of our Lord 1200 and 1400. The magnificence and variety of the material Temple was illustrated and corresponded to by equally noble and varying forms of devotion and ceremonial, which engaged the senses, as well as the mind and the affections, in the service of God, and represented in lively act the great Christian truths which the intellect had theoretically received.
