OCCASIONAL FORMS OF PRAYER.
(Vol. viii., p. 535.)
The list of Occasional Forms of Prayer, recently contributed to your pages
by the REV. THOMAS LATHBURY, contained no less than forty-eight items. All
the forms which he enumerates, with one exception, are earlier than the
year 1700. Using the same limitation of date, I send you herewith a farther
list of such occasional forms: all these are to be found in the British
Museum, and the press-marks by which they are designated in the catalogue
are here added. The present list comprises fifty-one items, all of them, I
think, different from those which have been already mentioned. Unless
otherwise stated, the copies of the forms here referred to are printed at
London, and they are for the most part in black-letter, without pagination.
A Psalme and Collect of Thankesgiving, not unmeet for the present Time
[_i.e._ after the defeat of the Spanish Armada]. 1588. (3406. c.)
