Excerpt from A Companion to the Lectionary: Being a Commentary on the Proper Lessons for the Sundays and Holy Days

On Easter Monday of this year, while on my way to an early celebration of the Holy Communion, I was composing in my mind the acknowledgment which I have just made. The words which I have here written were framed then. In common with so many others, I had been made very anxious by the accounts of Maurice's health, but the news of the previous day had brought better hope. Yet, I know not why, I thought of him continually during the Holy Service which followed, and throughout the day. The next morning I learned that even whilst I was on my way to those holy mysteries, pledges of Life Everlasting, my dear friend had passed through the gate.

Praying that, with him, I may at the last be partaker of our father's heavenly kingdom, I also beseech the blessing of God upon those friends through whom I came to know Maurice so fully, Samuel Clark, Derwent Coleridge, Edward Plumptre.

The reader, I am sure, will pardon an expression of personal gratitude which I have long sought to utter. Having done so, I take leave of a work which has interested me deeply, and commend it to the judgment of my readers, in the assurance that it will prove useful to them or not, according as it shall lead them to love the Word of God and to seek therein for deeper and fuller knowledge of Christ.
