The Devotional Library was commenced in 1846. The design of the Proprietors was to publish, at the lowest possible price, a series of Works, original, or selected from well-known Church of England Divines, which, from their practical character, as well as their cheapness, would be peculiarly useful to the clergy for parochial distribution. Since that period the following have appeared:—
Helps to Self-Examination, 1/2d. Original
The Sum of Christianity, 1d. A. Ellis.
Directions for Spending One Day Well, 1/2d. Abp. Synge.
Short Reflections for Morning and Evening, 2d. Spinckes.
