_Ken: "The Crown of Glory"_ (Vol. vii., p. 597.).--This work was properly

rejected by Mr. Round in his edition of Bishop Ken's _Works_; and in the

preface he gives the reasons for so doing. The absence of certain forms of

expression was the chief test relied on. The book is so excellent, and the

prayers so warm and Ken-like, that its exclusion indicates much critical

acumen on the part of Mr. Round. Subsequently to the publication of this

collection, it was ascertained that the prayers and other parts of _The

Crown of Glory_ were taken from a book of Dean Brough, of Gloucester,

entitled _Sacred Principles_, which was published, I believe (I am writing

at a distance from my books), in 1661.
