their poorer neighbours may induce them to promote it, the Vicar will be
thankful to afford any information that may be wished, in reference to
this object, and to receive from them any amount of pecuniary assistance
that will be needed to meet the expense, which of course must be
considerable.
Note D. (P. 18.)
To those members of the congregation at All Saints, who have not yet
introduced into their families the practice of domestic prayer, and who
may possibly feel the want of some suggestions as to the books best
adapted for conducting it, the Vicar would desire to recommend one or
other of the following publications, according as they may find them most
eligible for their own use. The different prices named would bring the
books within the means of every class of his people; and he ventures to
urge the adoption of the practice equally upon all.
_s._ _d._
Bishop of London’s Manual of Family Prayer, from 1 0
1_d._ to
Family Prayers, by the late H. Thornton, Esq., M.P. 3 0
Family Prayers, by the late W. Wilberforce, Esq. 1 6
The Churchman’s Book of Family Prayer, by the Rev. J. 1 6
H. Swainson, Rector of Alresford
A Manual of Prayer for Family and Private Devotion, 0 1
by the Rev. C. A. Heurtley
Note E. (P. 19.)
At a time when books of the most valuable and interesting character are
published at prices far below any former precedent, it seems to be little
less than the duty of every master of a Christian household to furnish to
his servants a collection, however limited, of such works as would be at
once most useful and acceptable to them, which a few shillings annually
would serve to keep up or to extend. The Vicar would wish to recommend
_The Churchman’s Monthly Magazine_ as one publication, which might, in
any case, be added with advantage to such a library. It has now extended
to five small volumes, and is continued periodically.
