Anyone mentioned Father Malachy's Miracle by Bruce Marshall yet? I discovered it just after Christmas - it's a scream. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Just received the copy of Fr Hartzell's 1963 edition of The Prayer Book Office which I obtained through Amazon at a price which was not overly exorbitant. It is in excellent conddition and I look forward to using it for Evening Prayer on some days.
It seems to me that this would be a good title for Lancelot Andrewes Press to reprint.

This man is gradually selling off his complete liturgical collection - it's huge (I've seen it but not inspected in detail).

I forgot to mention that a brand-new edition of Fortescue's Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described has recently been published by Continuum. It has been revised to take account of the latest regulations authorised by Benedict XVI for the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the mass usuing the 1962 missal.

I've just picked up a good 1909 copy of this on Amazon marketplace.
I also found an 1873 copy of John Keble's The Christian Year: Thoughts in Verse on ebay, as well as an interesting (although not strictly Anglo-Catholic) book titled Eastern Rite Prayers to the Mother of God.

ALL priests should have books on pastoral care, the Bible and so on. However, I comment the following for those who need to work our which strand of anglo-catholicism they are in - or, better, NOT in:
Anglican Papalism – M. Yelton
A fascinating history of that fringe movement among anglo-catholics who wanted to see the Church of England, in its entirety, submit to Rome. Its leaders were often eccentric and authoritarian. Some were right-wing while other were deeply respected for their work amongst the poor.
They disobeyed their bishops by celebrating the Roman Rite, sometimes in Latin and by introducing Benediction, arguing that the canon law of the Roman Church had not been rescinded at the Reformation and was, therefore, a higher authority. One of them said that the Book of common Prayer was inspired by the devil. Many bishops found it difficult to discipline such clergy because of their obvious holiness and willingness to work is the toughest of parishes. ‘Flying bishops’ is not a novelty since many parishes were ‘put under the ban’ and imported bishops from overseas to do their confirmations. Dom Gregory Dix, who write the highly influential ‘Shape of the Liturgy’, pointed out that the sign of a bishop is a crook and the archbishop a double crook.
It was they who started what has now become The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
I have considered (individual) submission to Rome and once supported the papalist ‘Catholic League’ but am now convinced that the movement is highly illogical. With the pending ordination of women to the episcopate, maybe members of Forward in Faith will seek uniate status under Rome (as they considered when the Lambeth Conference allowed birth control in the 1930s) and leave the rest of us behind.

There is some absolutely magnificent stuff in there, and some real rarities, the full Bute translation of the breviary, for instance, plus a Catholic Apostolic Church service book. The Angloc-Catholic, English and St. Swithun's Prayerbooks are also worth a look, as is Fr Forse's "Ceremonial Curiosities" and a red leather-bound English Missal for the Laity, to mention but a few.

At the moment there is a copy of the 1963 edition of Paul Hartzell's Prayer Book Office for sale on eBay with a buy-it-now price of $359.99.
I was fortunate enough to obtain my copy on Amazon for about £75 Sterling. The seller kindly told me that it had come from the estate of a deceased priest. Now I must search for the original 1944 edition!
I still think this would be a good candidate for a reprint by a publisher such as Lancelot Andrewes Press. Actually, it would be good if the 1979 edition by Howard Galley was also reprinted, but I suppose that it might now also be regarded as too traditional by some.
