A Guide to Family Devotion. By the Rev. Alexander Fletcher, D.D.,
containing 730 Hymns, 730 Prayers, and 730 Passages of Scripture, with
appropriate Reflections. Also, an Appendix, comprising a great variety
of Hymns and Prayers, to suit particular Days, Seasons, and Events of
Providence. The whole is so arranged as to form the most complete and
distinct Family Service for every Morning and Evening in the Year, ever
published. It is embellished with Sixteen fine Engravings on Steel,
after the Old Masters, and a superb Frontispiece.
“Our attention has lately been called to an advertisement of a book of
‘Family Devotion, containing the morning and evening service of a family
for every day throughout the year.’ According to the advertisement, this
new Order for Morning and Evening Prayer daily throughout the year is
already in its thirtieth edition of 1,000 each. 30,000 copies of a book
of common prayer for Dissenters, recommended by twenty-five
distinguished ministers, whose names are given, and who include some of
the most prominent of the day, cannot be dispersed throughout England
without working some considerable change in the minds of probably
200,000 persons.”--_Times_, Sept. 27, 1843.
This work, as may be seen below, has been strongly recommended by the
most talented Ministers of all denominations. As it is by no means
Sectarian, all sects and divisions of the Christian Churches both use
and recommend it. In addition to this, a very large circulation has been
obtained for the work in America, and nearly a hundred of the most
influential of the Transatlantic Ministers have sent letters to the
Publisher, testifying their high sense of approbation, earnestly
advocating its merits to their Flocks and to the Religious Public at
large.
The following are a few of the English Ministers who have expressed
their high satisfaction with it:--
