PREFACE TO REVISED ELITION (1889). THE interest that is widely taken in liturgical studies is seen in works that continue to issue from the press. The Missals of Sarum, York, Hereford, and Exeter, are printed, and the Breviaries of Sarum and York. The author of the present work has been enabled to prepare another revised edition. His endeavour has been to aid students who cannot have access to the scarce treasures of a great library, or always have the last edition of a book. With this view, the references to Mr. Maskell's Ancient Liturgy and Monumenta Ritualia, and to Mr. Blunt's Annotated Prayer Book, have been left unaltered, and the references to the new editions of those books have been added within square brackets. To earnest students under difficulties he bids God speed. DEO GRATIAS. WITTON, 1889. |
