"
The 1756 Cambridge edition of The Book of Common Prayer, printed by Joseph Bentham, is a finely produced mid-18th-century example of the Church of England's central liturgical text. It contains the complete order of services for daily and Sunday worship, the administration of the sacraments, and the various rites and ceremonies prescribed by the Anglican tradition. The text follows the standardized form established after the 1662 revision, reflecting the theological balance between Reformed Protestant principles and retained elements of pre-Reformation worship. Carefully laid out for clarity, it was intended both for use at the reading desk and as a devotional reference in private study.
Bound together with the Prayer Book is The Psalter or Psalms of David, pointed for chanting or recitation in church services. This section presents the Psalms in a metrical and punctuated form designed to guide congregational or choral performance, preserving the musical traditions of Anglican worship. The combination of durable printing, elegant typography, and practical layout reflects Joseph Bentham's skill as Cambridge University's printer, producing a volume that was both a functional liturgical tool and a testament to mid-Georgian ecclesiastical bookmaking."
