Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket (as issued). First Edition. UNIQUE PERSONALIZED BOOK.

Possibly the only book devoted to a tribute to this journal "which is the oldest and wisest of all". 10 pages. Tan decorated boards, paper cover label (spine chipped; boards darkened with wear; text pulling away). Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Signed by Author(s). Ephemera. …

Hardcover. 44 p.; 2 pl.; 18 cm. The late 19th century binding carries Baring-Gould on the spine, as does a tipped-in catalog entry "We always esteemed it [the consecration] effected by three things. The pronunciation of the words of Institution, the Prayer to the Holy Ghost, called the Invocation, which came after the Prayer of Consecration, and which I perceive you omit, and the Amen of the people. With us all three were necessary; and so you will see if you read the Liturgy of St. James, which was used at Jerusalem." "O dear me!" said the Curate, "this is entirely a new Light; and I thought if we went in for old Sarum we were sure to be all right." "And I thought our Incomparable Liturgy was the model of all the primitive liturgies," said the shade of the Rev. Edward Starch as it floated down the Strand. "No altar! no sacrifice! none of your Popery! down with it all!" muttered the two spies, still skulking round a corner.I was fairly puzzled as I thought over all the divisions of the most learned Church in the most religious country in the world. Certainly the blessed Cyril would have been lost in amazement, and as for me I could not find anything like the grandeur of Holy Cross Church in the year 347 or thereabouts. One idea struck me as I prepared for flight, leaving the astonished Octagon standing on the pavement. As none of the examples I saw are exactly like what each professes to be, the image of primitive Christianity, would it not be better to leave off biting and devouring one another, and to work back by degrees to primitive models? I shall be most happy to come and show them my experiences of the same, but I do not for a moment suppose anybody will take my advice;for after all I am ONLY A GHOST!
