Excerpt from Studies in the History of the Book of Common Prayer: The Anglican Reform, the Puritan Innovations, the Elizabethan Reaction, the Caroline Settlement, With Appendices Many summaries of the history of the Book have been given to the world at divers times, but the authors have for the most part been satisfied with little more than the bare enumera tion of the names of men who were charged with a work unequalled in importance for the in uence which it has exercised on the worship of the Church. In a few instances, eg. Cranmer or Ridley or Cosin, there was no necessity to do anything more, but Day and Thirlby and Morley (to select at haphazard), except to the real student of Ecclesiastical History, have been names, and names only.
