About this Item
Description:
[362]pp. plus 8pp. of music. Lacks the errata leaf. 12mo. Contemporary calf, original endpapers. Binding crackled, chipped at spine ends, rear board detached. A few leaves trimmed close, four leaves with edge wear resulting in minor loss to a few letters. Leaf Gg3 a bit rumpled, with a closed horizontal tear. Withal, a good copy, in unsophisticated condition, with the contemporary ownership signature of "George Bickham" on the front free endpaper, titlepage, and contents page. In a gilt morocco solander case, spine richly gilt. The American Protestant Episcopal Church was founded after the American Revolution as an adaptation of the Church of England in the new United States. The church was founded at a convention in Philadelphia in 1785, at which it was agreed to create a separate prayer book. The present title is the result, and it caused great controversy upon its publication. Among the ill-considered revisions were "changes and omissions of such drastic nature as among other things the deletion of the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. The Proposed Book proved unwelcome to clergy and laity, even its suggestion of a prayer for the Fourth of July being taken exception to. Its use was brief and not general" (Page). "This edition, contains the alterations which were intended to adapt the Book of Common Prayer, of the Church of England, to the changed political conditions of this country; and is the result of a convention held in Philadelphia, in 1785, presided over by the Reverend William White. The proposed Prayer Book met with much criticism and opposition in the church, owing to its radical changes, and was never adopted" - Evans. Rare. EVANS 19940. PAGE, THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER 51.
