The Oxford University Press shows a highly creditable promptitude in

issuing without delay an edition of the Prayer- book with the form enjoined by the latest Order in Council, "George, Prince of Wales, and the Princess of Wales," taking the place of "George, Duke of Cornwall and York," &c. One edition has the Book of Common Prayer singly (pica, 12mo, thin), and another Hymns Ancient and Modern bound up with it (elong. 48mo, thin), a very convenient and apparently favourite form. The Cambridge Press is not behindhand. It also has a new edition, with the same change, in alternative forms, with or without the Hymns (ruby, 32mo). We prefer, to be candid, the Oxford binding.
