The Ritual Reason Why Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Ritual Reason Why IN this Second Edition upwards of a hundred additional paragraphs have been added, in cluding three wholly new sections - one on Benedictions, another on Funeral and Mortuary celebrations, now happily on the increase among us, and a third, by way of Appendix, on the services for the Canonical Hours as used in our sisterhoods and other religious houses. The general arrangement has also been improved, and while the (at present) chiefly used Ritual has been, as was inevitable in a book which deals with things as they are rather than as they should be, most prominently dealt with, care has been taken togive as far as possible a clear and definite view, both of the Con tinental and of the old English ceremonials.

Excerpt from The Reason Why The first writing made a book over three times this size, but we have endeavored to produce the necessary arguments in this condensed form for the reader's benefit. This is not a new belief or idea, but an old subject revived. It was the belief of writers in the first, second, third and fourth centuries, but since then has been a neglected subject. The only originality professed is the Bible proofs collected and med in the argument. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
