“_Devout beauty is the special character of this new manual, and it
ought to be a favourite. Rarely has it happened to us to meet with so
remarkable a combination of thorough practicalness with that almost
poetic warmth which is the highest flower of genuine devotion. It
deserves to be placed along with the manual edited by Mr. Keble so
shortly before his decease, not as superseding it, for the scope of
the two is different, but to be taken along with it. Nothing can exceed
the beauty and fulness of the devotions before communion in Mr. Keble’s
book, but we think that in some points the devotions here given after
Holy Communion are even superior to it._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
“_Bishop Ellicott has edited a book of ‘Prayers and Meditations for the
Holy Communion,’ which, among Eucharistic manuals, has its own special
characteristic. The Bishop recommends it to the newly confirmed, to the
tender-hearted and the devout, as having been compiled by a youthful
person, and as being marked by a peculiar ‘freshness.’ Having looked
through the volume, we have pleasure in seconding the recommendations
of the good Bishop. We know of no more suitable manual for the newly
confirmed, and nothing more likely to engage the sympathies of youthful
hearts. There is a union of the deepest spirit of devotion, a rich
expression of experimental life, with a due recognition of the objects
of faith, such as is not always to be found, but which characterises
this manual in an eminent degree._”――CHURCH REVIEW.
“_The Bishop of Gloucester’s imprimatur is attached to ‘Prayers and
Meditations for the Holy Communion,’ intended as a manual for the
recently confirmed, nicely printed, and theologically sound._”――CHURCH
TIMES.
“_Among the supply of Eucharistic Manuals, one deserves special
attention and commendation. ‘Prayers and Meditations’ merits the Bishop
of Gloucester’s epithets of ‘warm, devout, and fresh.’ And it is
thoroughly English Church besides._”――GUARDIAN.
“_We are by no means surprised that Bishop Ellicott should have been
so much struck with this little work, on accidentally seeing it in
manuscript, as to urge its publication, and to preface it with his
commendation. The devotion which it breathes is truly fervent, and the
language attractive, and as proceeding from a young person the work is
altogether not a little striking._”――RECORD.
