From back flyleaf of dust jacket: "Over the centuries since the first Book of Common Prayer in 1549, many Anglican writers have produced devotional commentaries related to the Prayer book. This volume, complied and edited by Dr. J. Robert Wright, brings together selections from the most important of these devotional commentaries. Classicical Anglican sources from 1552 on are included, making this a timeless companion to the spiritual and devotional nature of our Prayer Book."
