_The English Liturgy._--
"It is deserving of notice, that although Dr. Beattie had been brought
up a member of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and regularly
attended her worship and ordinances when at Aberdeen, he yet gave the
most decided preference to the Church of England, generally attending
the service of that Church when anywhere from home, and constantly when
at Peterhead. He spoke with enthusiasm of the beauty, simplicity, and
energy of the English Liturgy, especially of the Litany, which he
declared to be the finest piece of uninspired composition in any
language." _Life of Dr. Beattie_, by Sir W. Forbes, Bart., vol. iii.
