This is an edition of the Book of Common Prayer (1662), which is the 'primary' BCP, used by the Church of England proper, the original branch of the Anglicans.

Bodnar Princeton Univ Pr, 1992 Which is more important, the facts of what actually happened in the past or the public memory of what took place? John Bodnar would certainly come down in favor of the construction of public memory. It is what defines American society, he insists, and he believes it can be and has been manipulated and altered as needed over time to serve the interests of the present. That is what commemorations are all about. The author argues in this social history of commemorations in the twentieth century United States ...             The Viking-Age Rune-Stones: Custom and Commemoration in Early Medieval Scandinavia1 review Birgit Sawyer Oxford University Press, USA, 2001 Delighted! Rarely does a book come out with such good work on the subject, due to its lack of commercial "sex appeal" for buyers.
