III. Some prayers for various occasions which are not of general interest (chapters xxii, xxiii, xxx, xxxi, xxxii, xxxiv, xxxv, xxxvi, xxxvii, xxxviii, xxxix, xl, and xli).
IV. Extracts from the Nomocanon (chap. xlii), many of which refer to obsolete heathen customs and habits, and all need the living voice of the pastors of the church for their proper present application.
V. The Kalendar and the Paschal Tables (chapters xliii and xliv), these having been given in the translator’s former work, Euchology, published in Kidderminster in the year 1891.[2]
It should be understood that the originals are books for the use of those who are conversant with the order of the church service, and that, for that reason, many abbreviations appear in them, well known prayers, verses, etc, being indicated by initial words only, or by ecclesiastical terms. As these abbreviations have been imitated in the translations, some notes are given, which, it is hoped, may remove most of the obscurities, which, to the general reader, might appear to pervade the work.
