have no doubt that this might easily be done through the medium of
your paper; and I think you will agree with me that, if it should be
substantiated, not only is credit due to the Queen's printers, but
also that it is an example which ought to be followed, without
exception, in all future editions of the Prayer Book.

The variations, which I have noted in the ordinary version of the
Hymns, as given in other Prayer Books, are too numberous to be
inserted here, not to mention the omission of several stanzas, three
in the Morning Hymn, together with the Doxology, and one in the
Evening Hymn.

If they be false readings, no doubt they have been allowed to creep
in inadvertently, and need only pointing out to be corrected. It
occurred to me that this might be done more effectually in your
columns, and I venture to hope that you will not consider it a task
unworthy the high aim which you have in view in your admirable
publication.

OXONIENSIS.

[Bishop Ken's Morning and Evening Hymns have been restored in
Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode's last rubricated edition of the
Common Prayer, as far as was practicable; they were carefully
collated with the original, and all variations corrected, except
those which would materially affect immemorial use. The entire hymns
are of great length, but all those verses which have been at all
generally sung in churches are to be found in the edition to which
we refer.
