“This collection of prayers is intended for public, private, and school worship.  At the same time it is an anthology which makes stimulating reading, for it includes not only the great prayers of the Bible and Prayer Book, and of such writers as Erasmus, Lancelot Andrewes, and Jeremy Taylor, but also prayers associated with, or actually written by, national heroes such as King Alfred, Raleigh, Drake, Nelson, and Winston Churchill.”
