Green Cover with black print. 1891 reprint of the 1552 edition. Prior owners bookplate in front.Pages browning and fragile due to age and a few pages have tears. This is not a modern reprint but the actual 1891 printing of the 1552 edition. This copy contains some underlining and comments from a former Episcopal bishop and a personal notation when he handed it down to his son an Episcopal priest and Navy chaplin. By God's grace the accession of Edward VI in 1547 permitted the acceleration of the reformation of the Church of England. Some changes were made almost immediately but it was not until March 1548 that the first new services were issued in the form of an English supplement to the latin mass. the Second Prayer Book was published and authorised for use from All Saints Day 1552. It was not well received by many and with the death of Edward the following year and the accession of Mary the book itself was in use for only a very short time. With three specific alterations, reportedly at the request of Queen Elizabeth herself, the book was re-instated and authorised for use from May 8 1559. Scarce copy if not Rare. ; The Ancient & Modern Library of Theological Literature; 9.02 X 5.98 X 0.53 inches; 250 pages
