Présentation de l'éditeur

Hour and each part of an Hour with attention and devotion. Some of the pages may be to them instructive, and may give them new ideas on such points as the structure of the Hours, the Collects, the Te Deum, the Anthems of the Blessed Virgin, etc. No book is faultless. Of this one, I can say with the Psalmist, I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight (P salm 72). And I can say it with St. Columban, Totum, dicere volui in breve, totum non potui. In the book I quote Cardinal Bona. In his wonderful Rerum Liturgicarum II., xx., 6) he wrote what I add as a finish to this preface :S aepe enim volenti et conanti vel ingenii vires vel rerum antiquarum notitia vel alia subsidia defuerunt; nee fieri potuit quin per loca salebrosa in tenebris ambulans interdum offenderim, Cum aliquid incautius et neglentius a me scriptum offenderit, ignoscat primum lector, deinde arnica manu corrigat et emendat et quae omisi suppleat. E. J. Q. ROCKCORRY, CO. MONAGHAN.
