INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW-YORK EDITION

OF THE

URSULINE MANUAL.

THE intrinsic merits of this Prayer Book, and the high place it deservedly holds in public estimation, have induced the Publisher to reprint it in this city. Though the work was originally intended for the use of the Young Ladies educated in the famous Ursuline Convent, in the city of Cork; yet many editions of it quickly succeeded each other, both in Dublin and in London: a fact which alone bespeaks its worth; and a merė perusal of the table of its contents, will show, that no book of the same kind, contains a greater amount of pious and useful reading. The Publisher has the sɛ isfaction to state that no pains have been spared to adapt the Work to the pe culiar circumsta es of this country, and that it comes before the public with strong claims on their attention. It has been carefully revised by the Very Reverend Divine whose name appears in the title page, and is approved of by the Spir Qual Authority of this Diocess.
