"It is thoroughly deserving of careful attention. All who profess
to follow the rule OP the Church of England should strive to be
Anglicans indeed. In such a strife they could not study a more
useful and practical book than that before us, to which Mr. Carter,
of Clewer, has prefixed a very appropriate Preface, and which is
most gracefully and properly dedicated to the Bishop of Salisbury.
The Notes and Explanations, as was to have been expected, throw a
vast amount of light on the rules and directions of the Prayer
Book." Union Review.
"
This, so far as we know, is the first complete version into English
of the Sarum Liturgy that is of ORDINARY and CANON of the MASS,
as it existed and was used in England from the days immediately
succeeding the Norman Conquest to the eve, or rather the morrow,
of the Reformation, to the accession, that is, of Edward VI., and
from the accession to the death of Queen Mary. What that Liturgy
was before the Conquest, say on the Dedication of S. Peter s, West
minster, we may well imagine from the knowledge we seem to have
of S. Osmund. . . . Points there are, which publications, or
rather republications, like this of Mr. Walker for it is after
all but an old friend under a new face are calculated, and
indeed intended, to press home upon us. Setting aside the
grand doctrine of the Sacrifice, to which the Divine Liturgy,
is an unerring, an unmistakeable witness, very many other
points there are, interesting to an English churchman of to-day, upon
which the book of ages past, the old Liturgy of Sarum, bears with a
weight and a force of authority, all the more effective for being
implied rather than imposed, and therefore acknowledged as that of
a venerated counsellor, and accepted as that of a Divine guide. . . .
One of the highest purposes which an early book can answer, is to
supply the defects, explain the obscurities, and settle the uncertain
ties of a later ;
and it would be much cause of congratulation to Mr.
Walker if, in translating the old Sarum Liturgy, he had contributed
to amend, improve, and simplify, not the text, but the use of the
English Church of to-day." Christian Remembrancer.
