Note 9 — Chapter X
Reading edition
There is a service for the 29th of May in the Book of Common Prayer, which, by royal order (commencing “Victoria Regina. It is our Royal Will and Pleasure,” &c., and countersigned by Lord John Russell on the 21st of June, 1837), is to be performed in every church, college, and chapel in the United Kingdom every year. It is most blasphemously absurd and false in its historical allusions and slavish moralizings.
