early ready.
Along with this will be given the Burial Service as noted by Marbecke,
together with an APPENDIX, containing the Benedictus, Post Communion
Sentences, and other portions of ancient music, as contained in his
book. The work will thus comprise all the music of Marbecke's
publication, (which was adapted to the first Prayer-Book of Edward VI.)
and will likewise be a complete edition of the present Anglican Service.
Independently of the interest attached to the musical part of the work,
it will be found an elegant service book, adapted either for private
use, or for the Church desk or altar.
"Whether we regard the importance of the subjects upon which it bears,
or the intrinsic beauty of the volume itself, we do not know whether
we have been ever more pleased with a modern publication. It is most
sumptuously printed in black letter, and rubricated, not only with those
portions which are usually understood by that name, but with titles,
initials, ornaments, and the Gregorian staff of four lines: every page
is surrounded with arabesques, executed from blocks, which, by an
ingenious combination, are much diversified; and in the large paper
copies, we would willingly borrow some of Dr. Dibdin's hyperbole to
express our admiration. But the view under which we hail the present
publication, is the impetus which we trust that it will give to the
study of the true ecclesiastical _plain chant._"--_English Churchman._
THE HISTORY OF OUR BLESSED LORD,
In a Series of simple Poems; with 13 coloured Pictures from the Old
Masters; in very large type. Small 4to. 4_s._ 6_d._
"A great experiment, and to the best of our judgment a successful one.
The verses are easy, and, though rather in the ballad style, are free
from any palpable irreverence. The plates are after the works of
masters, and in the style, both of drawing and colouring, remind one
of the severe and simple effect of old painted windows."--_British
Critic._
