Among the curiosities of the subject we notice the following :
(«.) Liturgy of the P?-imitive Episcopal Church. — " The Hook of Common Prayer, and A dministration of the Sacraments and other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church, according to the Use of the Primitive Ejiiscopal Church, revived in England in the Year of our Redemp- tion One thousand eight hundred and thirty-one, together icith the Psalter or Psalms of David, ^^ though bearing the imprint of London, was printed at Liverpool, but was never published. It was edited by the Kev. George IMontgomery AVest, M.A., a presbyter of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the state and diocese of Ohio, in North America. This volume is of great raritj', not more than five or six copies being found in the libraries of tlie curious in ecclesiastical matters. The liturgy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America is the basis of this edition, excepting two or three alterations in the office for the ministration of liaptism, and a few verbal alterations to fit it for use in England and in Ireland. "The Primitive Episcopal Cliurch, revived in England in 1831," had a short exist- ence of little more than twelve months.
(h.) Deistical Liturgy. — In 1752 a liturgy was pub- lished in Liverpool by some of the Presbyterians, as Antitrinitarians are often called in England, but Christ's name is hardly mentioned in it, and the third part of the (iodhead is not at aU recognised in it. It is known als(3 by the name of " Liverpool Liturgy." In 1776 was jiublishcd ",1 lAturgy on the universal Principles of Re- ligion and Morality:" it was compiled by David Wil- liams, with the chimerical design of uniting all parties and persuasions in one comprehensive form. This lit- urgy is composed in imitation of the Book of Common Prayer, with responses celebrating the divine perfec- tions and works, with thanksgivings, confessions, and supplications. The principal part of three of tlic hj'mns for morning and evening service is selected from the Works of j\lilton and Thomson, though considerable use is made of the language of the Scriptures (see Orton, Eetters, i, 80 sq.; Bogue and Bennett, //jV. (fthe Dis- senters, iii, 342),
