Excerpt from The Principles of Religious Ceremonial

The notes have been kept within narrow bounds, and relegated to the end of the volume, in order that they may not hamper those who may be interested in the subject without having much technical knowledge of it. It would have been easy to multiply the bulk of them, and to add many references to ritualists both ancient and modern by whose labours I have profited, but to do this would to some extent have defeated the purpose in view. At the present time the subject of religious ceremonial is one of general interest. All churchgoers are expected to have some opinion upon it. It is too often discussed from a narrow and party point of view. So this volume is simply an attempt to provide materials from which to form a more tolerant and more independent judgment.

Excerpt from The Principles of Religious Ceremonial

The object of the Oxford Library of Practical Theology is to supply some carefully considered teaching on matters of Religion to that large body of devout laymen, who desire instruction, but are not attracted by the learned treatises which appeal to the theologian. One of the needs of the time would seem to be, to translate the solid theological learning, of which there is no lack, into the vernacular of everyday practical religion; and while steering a course between what is called plain teaching on the one hand and erudition on the other, to supply some sound and readable instruction to those who require it, on the subjects included under the common title 'The Christian Religion,' that they may be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.

The Editors, while not holding themselves precluded from suggesting criticisms, have regarded their proper task as that of editing, and accordingly they have not interfered with the responsibility of each writer for his treatment of his own subject.
