LITURGICAL PURITY our RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE • • or. the Prayer Book Revised upon Scriptural Principles. By JOHN C. FISHER, M.A. " We have long desired to see the question at issue between the two great. Church parties treated in this method, because we desire to substitute clearness for confusion, and to enable men to see the extent of the doctrine, either on one side or on the other, in which they must be prepared to acquies^e if they would remain members of the Church of England."— The Press. " This is a very remarkable performance, which can hardly fail to excite general attsntion throughout the ranks of the Chnrott of England."—Christian Witness. "The book will find its way, sooner or later, into the hands of all thinking men who care for the integrity, and are anxious about the future, of the Church of England; and is calculated to render no common service to the cause of Liturgical purity by habituating the minds of men to those ideas of reform from which they are apt to shrink in suspicion and dislike."—Record.
