An Apology

FOR

Cathedral Service.

Apology for the Bible? I didn’t know that the

Bible wanted any apology.”—King George III.

“This is a very delightful work, and contains much more than its title implies. The style is quaint and original, and reminds us of that of some of our older writers. It is throughout enriched with a number of curious and interesting quotations and illustrations, which display considerable information and research. It is full of the 'spirit of antiquity,' if we may use such an expression, and is deeply imbued with a love for those admirable and venerable institutions, which we owe to the wisdom of past ages. The defence of the practice of chanting, of the whole Cathedral Service, and, indeed, of Cathedral institutions altogether, is excellent, and will repay an attentive perusal.”—Churchman.

“This clever work is indeed still of the Spirit of Antiquity, and evinces great originality and freshness of thought, brilliancy of imagination, profound argument, strong feeling, and a thorough and hearted love of the cause so eloquently advocated.”—Salisbury Herald.
