The English Rite: being a synopsis of the sources and revisions of the Book of Common Prayer, by Frank Edward Brightman, was published in 1915, and consists primarily of a four-column comparison of three editions of the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer (1549, 1552 & 1662) and any source material, usually in Latin. It also includes a 225-page introduction giving a history of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and its sources. It is in two volumes, totalling over 1000 pages, the first volume covering the Introduction and the BCP up to about the first half of the Collects, Epistles and Gospels, and the second volume containing the rest.
