THE PRAYER BOOK DICTIONARY.

"The Prayer Book Dictionary" deals with the origins, history, use and teaching of the several editions of the Book of Common Prayer within the Anglican communion. Every endeavour has been made to give information under the titles most likely to be referred to, Prayer Book terms being uniformly preferred. Where it has been necessary to collect material in longer articles, cross references direct the reader to the subsidiary topics included. A comprehensive Table of Subjects in Prayer Book order serves, moreover, as a Subject Index, and at the end of each article reference is made to the section of this Table where kindred topics are mentioned with their authors. Thus the full resources of the Dictionary under any head can be readily unlocked.

LAURENCE HOPE'S LOVE LYRICS.


 * "No one has so truly interpreted the Indian mind―no one, transcribing Indian thought into our literature, has retained so high and serious a level, and quite apart from the rarity of themes and setting―the verses remain―true poems."


 * "It is not merely that these verses describe Oriental scenes and describe them with vividness, there is a feeling in the rhythm―a timbre of the words that seems akin to the sand and palm-trees and the changeless East."


 * "The poetry of Laurence Hope must hold a unique place in modern letters. No woman has written lines so full of a strange primeval savagery―a haunting music―the living force of poetry."
