Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of the Successive Revisions: Of the Book of Common Prayer This Introduction (which was commenced with the idea that it would occupy but some thirty or forty pages) was intended to be prefixed to the volume entitled "The First Prayer-Book of Edward VI. compared with the successive revisions," which was issued two months since, and to supply only a few notes respecting the chief documents relating to the issue of the several Books. The unforeseen extent of the "Concordance to the Rubricks" which was added at the end of that volume, involved the omission of the Introduction, as the book was already quite as thick as was compatible with the size. Some few pages had already been printed, and instead of destroying them, I determined to transfer them to another volume, and to print in full a large mass of material relating to the last Revision of the Book of Common Prayer, from which at first I had intended but to select some few illustrative examples. In the pages of the Introduction which refer to the earlier Revisions, I had, in accordance with the original plan, selected for transcript only such Historical Memorials as Acts of Parliament, or Royal Letters; but I had noted briefly some of the principal Records which indirectly concern the Prayer-Book, giving exact dates, and pointing out where transcripts might be found, - such as Injunctions, Advertisements, or Articles, - reserving the arrangement of these into systematic order, and the printing of them to some future opportunity.
