A Guide to Family Devotion. By the Rev. Alexander Fletcher, D.D., containing 730 Hymns, 730 Prayers, and 730 Passages of Scripture, with appropriate Reflections. Also, an Appendix, comprising a great variety of Hymns and Prayers, to suit particular Days, Seasons, and Events of Providence. The whole is so arranged as to form the most complete and distinct Family Service for every Morning and Evening in the Year, ever published. It is embellished with Sixteen fine Engravings on Steel, after the Old Masters, and a superb Frontispiece.
“Our attention has lately been called to an advertisement of a book of ‘Family Devotion, containing the morning and evening service of a family for every day throughout the year.’ According to the advertisement, this new Order for Morning and Evening Prayer daily throughout the year is already in its thirtieth edition of 1,000 each. 30,000 copies of a book of common prayer for Dissenters, recommended by twenty-five distinguished ministers, whose names are given, and who include some of the most prominent of the day, cannot be dispersed throughout England without working some considerable change in the minds of probably 200,000 persons.”—Times, Sept. 27, 1843.
This work, as may be seen below, has been strongly recommended by the most talented Ministers of all denominations. As it is by no means Sectarian, all sects and divisions of the Christian Churches both use and recommend it. In addition to this, a very large circulation has been obtained for the work in America, and nearly a hundred of the most influential of the Transatlantic Ministers have sent letters to the Publisher, testifying their high sense of approbation, earnestly advocating its merits to their Flocks and to the Religious Public at large.
The following are a few of the English Ministers who have expressed their high satisfaction with it:—
