Preamble
THE ANGLICAN CATECHISM. A.D. 1549, 1662. The authentic text is found in the Black-letter Prayer-book, so called, which contains the original marginal MS. notes and alterations of 1661, and was annexed to the Act of Uniformity. It was supposed to be lost, but recovered in 1867 in the Library of the House of Lords, and reproduced in photozincographic fac-simile for the Royal Commissioners on Ritual, with a Preface by Dean Stanley, London, 1871, large 4to. Besides this, I have compared the reprint of the Prayer-book of 1662, published in London, 1853, pp. 251–258, and The Book of Common Prayer, with notes legal and historical, by Archibald John Stephens, Lond. 1854, Vol. III. pp. 1449–1477.] A Catechism; THAT IS TO SAY, AN INSTRUCTION, TO BE LEARNED OF EVERY PERSON BEFORE HE BE BROUGHT TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE BISHOP.
