A FULL INDEX.

In this book will be found music for all the Church's services, it being especially complete and rich in the music for the order of the Holy Communion. It is fitted for general use, inasmuch as the simplest chant or the elaborate anthem services can be rendered from it, in all their details. The Plain-song has, in all cases, been provided with an organ accompaniment; while in the Gregorian Canticles varied harmonies have been introduced-a great boon to the non-professional organist.

"A complete manual for our average choirs throughout the country, and the unmusical clergy may safely adopt it, with the certainty that they will have nothing but thoroughly good music."-The Churchman.

"Rich and varied in all its resources. Dr. Messiter has placed the type of Trinity Church use within reach of all Church congregations."-Living Church.

"The Choir Office-Book,' edited by Dr. Messiter, is the most valuable work of the kind that has appeared. Now that the musical portion of the Communion office is fast being restored to its former position of chief importance, the publication of this book will prove of no little benefit to the Church at large."-G. EDWARD STUBBS, M.A., Organist of S. Agnes Chapel, Trinity Parish; Instructor in Church Music, General Theological Seminary, New York.

"I have had time lately to thoroughly examine Dr. Messiter's Office-Book,' and I consider it the best thing of its kind I have ever seen. Much of the plain-song music I constantly use in my own choir."-GEORGE B. PRENTICE, Mus. Doc., Organist of Church of S. Mary the Virgin, New York.

TRINITY PARISH PSALTER.

The Psalter, pointed for singing, and set to music according to the use of Trinity Parish, New York. The pointing revised, and the music, chiefly Double Chants, selected and arranged by A. H. MESSiter, Organist of Trinity Church. 8vo, cloth, red edges, $1.25.

The Canticles, Psalter and Twenty Selections. Pointed uniform with the "Trinity" Psalter, but with words only. 32m0, cloth, 30c., net.

In this new edition of the Trinity Parish Psalter the method of notation formerly used is retained, except that an entire word is italicized where previously only one syllable was so marked. The system of pointing is also unchanged; but extreme cases have been modified, and the undue prominence sometimes given to unimportant words avoided.

The new table of Proper Psalms, as well as the Twenty Selections, are printed in full.

"A vast improvement on anything that we have had before, and we shall be glad to see it introduced into all our churches."-The Churchman.
