I do not propose in these notes, as I have already observed in the preliminary dissertation, to do more than notice a few of the most important variations which occur in the Offices which lie before me.

These are, nations of her present Majesty, reprinted in the text: of William IV. and Q. Adelaide: of George IV.: of George II. and Q. Caroline. For any remarks on the variations of the preceding and intermediate reigns, I am obliged to rely upon the authority, scarcely to be doubted in such respect, of reprints and accounts of the offices: for example, by Prynne, Sir E. Walker, and Sandford.

The Girding and Oblation." in the Orders until K. William IV. The student must compare the note in the place below.

"The Investing with the Armill and the Royal Robe:" until K. William IV.

The Order of K. George IV. adds here "xvij. The final Anthem;" which is also the arrangement of the Order for K. George II. As in this last instance, and in that also of K. William IV., a Queen was also crowned, both these orders add "xviij. the Queen's coronation."
