LibraryThing Review
User Review - wyclif - LibraryThingLargely forgotten Hookerian treatment of the Book of Common Prayer. Still useful in reference to the classic English rite. Boils down Sparrow and Comber's commentaries into a more accessible work. Used to be an essential book in every Anglican minister's library. Recommended. Read full review
