The collation of "The Whole Book of Psalms" is as follows: [A]-I2, K-O2. (28 leaves, ie 56 pages. Printed in double columns, The Book of Common Prayer is illustrated throughout with very attractive floriated and historiated woodcut initials and head and tail pieces. There are a few ink notations updating the names of the Royal family to "Adelaide the Queen Dowager" and "Albert Prince of Wales". The volume has recent paper restoration to several leaves, a few of which have been remounted. The title page has been remounted. Signature R1 is lacking. It would have contained the conclusion of "The Collect for Saint John Baptists Day". The pages are lightly wrinkled with a few corner creases. There is a large tear to the outer corner of signature B2 with the loss of approximately 6 lines of text on each side of the leaf. There is also a large tear to the lower corner of signature S2 with the loss of approximately 15 lines of text on each side of the leaf. The final leaf of The Whole Book of Psalms has been remounted without loss of text. A very attractive book. The contents of the volume conforms with most versions of the Book of Common Prayer. However, it also contains a Form of Prayer for the restoration of the King, Charles II, a thanksgiving for the outcome of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, details of the 39 Articles of faith adopted in 1562, and a copy of the 1603 Constitution and Canons Ecclesiastical of the Church of England. Due to its size, this volume was most probably on the celebrant's lectern. Susanna Collins, the printer of the second work included here, "The Whole Book of Psalms", was the widow of the important printer Freeman Collins (c.1657-1713). Together with his wife Susanna, Freeman played a large role in the spread of provincial printing in England. At least 12 printers whose names appear on imprints of provincial books and newspapers were apprentices or journeymen of Freeman or Susanna Collins in their London printing office. Susanna was the daughter of the printer James Cottrell. She died on June 2, 1724, the year of this publication. Very good .

¶ STC (2nd ed.), 6006; ESTC S109036 ‘Drawn up under the direction of Thomas Cranmer as an intended code of canon law, but never enacted. Translated from the English manuscript copy by Walter Haddon and Sir John Cheke. Edited by John Foxe, whose initials appear on A2r. Possibly not published until 1572, since Walter Haddon, who died on 21 Jan. 1572, is referred to in the preface as clarissime memorie.’ First edition of this work the idea for which was initiated in 1544 when Cranmer urged upon the King the long felt necessity for a revision of the ecclesiastical laws. In the following year he was commissioned to take steps to that effect. His codification of the canon law, which was marked by great skill in definition and arrangement, had all but been completed before the death of Henry VIII in 1547. The revision of the work, which laid down the lawfulness and necessity of persecution to the death for heresy in the most absolute terms, was Cranmers last great undertaking.
