Sinopsis
Excerpt from The English Rite, Vol. 1: Being a Synopsis, of the Sources and Revisions, of the Book of Common Prayer, With an Introduction and an Appendix
The Introduction is not an attempt to write once again the history of the Book of Common Prayer. Primarily and for the most part it is concerned with sources, as a key and a supplement to the first column of the Synopsis. Conse quently, I have endeavoured, as shortly as may be, to indicate the ritual situation in which the English book originated, and those in which it was further modified and developed; to make sufficiently distinct the relations in which the English book stands to its predecessors; and to describe the mani fold influences, documentary and personal, which affected it from time to time, and to put them into their historical con text. I have avoided, I hope, for the most part, both here and in the first column of the Synopsis, mere illustration, abundance of which is to be found in current commentaries, from Hamon l'estrange onwards, and have aimed at con fining quotation to what has certainly, probably, or pos sibly, influenced the text directly to what, originating under the same conditions and in the same period, indicates what was in the air and to what, as traditional, and in every body's mind, explains what might otherwise be obscure. Of the latter two sorts, it is likely that there is a good deal still to be gleaned from medieval and contemporary sources, which would throw light on the work of an absorbent mind like Cranmer's.

Excerpt from The English Rite, Vol. 1: Being a Synopsis, of the Sources and Revisions, of the Book of Common Prayer, With an Introduction and an Appendix
I have here added another to the series of attempts which have been made, by a variety of methods, to exhibit distinctly the exact relations in which the chief recensions of the Book of Common Prayer stand to one another. In form it approximates most nearly to Edw. Cardwell's Two Books of Common Prayer and W. Keeling's Liturgiae britannicae. But the former of these covers only the books of 1549 and 1552; while the latter, though in one direction larger in scope than my own attempt, has seemed to me capable of being improved upon in several ways. In order to describe the aim and character of the present Synopsis it will be convenient to compare it with Liturgiae britannicae.
I. The latter shares with most synopses of nearly related texts that one meets with the defect that the columns do not correspond in detail, but each column pursues its own course continuously and independently; with the result that an omission or an addition in any column throws the scheme out of gear, and, in order to grasp the relation of the several columns to one another, the eye or the finger or the pen has to follow a devious path across the pages.
