Excerpt from A Book of Litanies Metrical and Prose: With an Evening Service HE editor of this book OF litanies desires to avail himself of the opportunity afforded him, in issuing the Words with the Music, to thank those persons who have contributed Litanies, those who have so kindly helped him with much valuable advice and criticism in the preparation of the Words, and those who have generously placed Litanies already published at his disposal. He desires especially to thank the Writer of the Metrical Litanies for Advent, Penitence (p. Rogation Days, Whitsuntide (p.
