- "The original Book of Common Praise was compiled in 1908. This revision has been carried out pursuant to a resolution moved by Magistrate James Edmund Jones, and seconded by the Rt. Rev. J.C. Farthing, Lord Bishop of Montreal, and carried unanimously at Montreal in September 1934. .... The average lifespan of a hymnal appears to be twenty-five years. Each generation, with its problems and outlook, must ever seek new ways of expressing its ideals and aspirations. .... This book contains 168 hymns, 22 Ancient Office Hymns, and 323 tunes, not found in the former book. 59 of such tunes occur more than once, making 382 new settings. .... Two new sections have been added under the captions 'Hymns for Youth' and 'God in Nature'. In accordance with the principle of inclusion, the revised book contains a number of Ancient Office Hymns, which are desired by a considerable number of Church people. .... The Chant section has been enlarged." -- Preface.
