It makes no pretension to completeness, nor has it been found possible, within the limits of space available, to treat in detail many of the perplexing problems which meet the student in this field of study. My object has been to select from the mass of materials accumulated in the larger works which are available those facts in the evidence which seemed to be of crucial importance, and to reserve judgement where the evidence seemed inconclusive. Many theories (e.g. with regard to the Roman Canon) have been passed over without detailed discussion, as it seemed better to put the young student in possession of the main facts, before introducing him to the various conjectural reconstructions of the history which have been put forward in recent times. My debt to the larger and more important works of reference is indicated in the Bibliography and notes. I owe much to MrB rightman s Liturgies Eastern and Western and to the contributions to the subject of the early liturgy in the Journal of Theological Studies and elsewhere from the pen of Mr Edmund Bishop. To the latter I am indebted for help of a more personal kind.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
