The second of four volumes containing the edited texts,
commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine hundred
occasions of special worship and for each of the annual
commemorations in England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Since
the sixteenth century, the governments and established churches of
the British Isles have summoned the nation to special acts of
public worship during periods of anxiety and crisis, at times of
celebration, or for annual commemoration and remembrance. These
special prayers, special days of worship and anniversary
commemorations were national events, reaching into every parish in
England and Wales, in Scotland, and in Ireland. They had
considerable religious, ecclesiastical, political, ideological,
moral and social significance, and they produced important texts:
proclamations, council orders, addresses and - in England and
Wales, and in Ireland - prayers or complete liturgieswhich for
specified periods supplemented or replaced the services in the Book
of Common Prayer. Many of these acts of special worship and most of
the texts have escaped historical notice. National Prayers. Special
Worship since the Reformation, in four volumes, provides the edited
texts, commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine
hundred occasions of special worship, and for each of the annual
commemorations. The second volume,General Fasts, Thanksgivings and
Special Prayers in the British Isles 1689-1870, contains the texts
and commentaries for the numerous and frequent special prayers,
fast days and thanksgivings during the wars which consolidated the
1688 revolution, through the long imperial wars of the eighteenth
century, and the wars against revolutionary and Napoleonic France,
as well as prayers and thanksgivings associated with Jacobite
risings, epidemics, socialunrest, and episodes in the lives of the
kings and queens.
