"'Twas Novelty tinged every scene as it flew...| Like the insects, that flit in the lustre of dawn,| Industriously idle we roam"

Laud's Book of Common Prayer (Edinburgh, 1637) from Queen's College Upper Library. Most copies had the 'Godley prayers' removed, on Charles I's orders, but not this copy (which was given to Queen's by Charles' chaplain-in-ordinary). The famous copy is the one in the BL, with Charles' MS notes. #BookHistory #history #scotland
