years ago more especially for the use of the London Diocefan Penitentiary, which I was then founding at Highgate, and it received at the time the fanction of Bishop Blomfield. But as I remarked in the First Introduction, "the prayers, pfalms, hymns, as well as the occafional. litanies, have been selected, not only for the use of penitents, as fuch in a House of Mercy, but for all who either as a body or individuals have been led by God's grace to feel the burden of fin."
