Rese�a del editor

English of the Hours of Prime, Terce, Sext, None, and Compline, according to the Use of the English Chureh of Sarum, together with such of the Eules called the Pie as apply to our present Kalendar. The work has been undertaken, not merely in the spirit of the antiquary, but mainly with a practical view. In our present Prayer-B ook the old Sarum services of Mattins, Lauds, and Evensong are retained in a modi fied form: the present English Liturgy is the crippled child of the venerable Liturgy of Sarum, in its own day famosissimse ac inter occiduas nominatissimse ecclesise ;the Kalendar is a somewhat expurgated version of that of Sarum; while the preface in well-known words claims for the whole book continuity with the past, and showers not unpointed anathemas 011 those who at any time have made their vain attempts and impetuous assaults upon the little which the book yet retains of the worshipful past, whether in ceremonial or in substance; seeing that they have always dis covered a greater regard to their own private fancies and interests, than to that duty they owe to the publick.
