PREFACE TO THE ELEVENTH EDITION. The Editors of the Pocket Prayer Book cannot offer an Eleventh Edition to the Public, without humbly acknowledging the blessing of Almighty God which has appeared to follow its enlarged circulation. Since the death of its valued Compiler, in the year 1828, more than 20,000 copies have been sold, or gratuitously dispersed; and an Eleventh Edition, of 10,000 copies, is now issued from the Press. The work will be found substantially the same, with the exception of a few passages from the earlier Editions, which had been omitted from want of space, but are now restored. It only remains for them again to commit their little work to the protection of Him, whose is the spirit of prayer, and supplication, and to add their humble petition, that it may be made subservient to the glory of that Redeemer, “for whom prayer also shall be made continually,” and "unto whom, shall the gathering of the people be."
