Inside, the analytical table of contents lays out daily offices for the six days of the week, an office for the clergy, and offices for the Lord's Day, penitence, and Holy Communion, opening with preliminary instructions on prayer drawn from scripture. The work is attributed to Richard Hele and was issued by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.

The morocco shows wear consistent with age, with rubbing and small losses to the leather at the spine ends, corners, and along the joints, and light scuffing across both boards. The gilt rules and spine lettering remain legible. The gilt edges hold their brightness. Internally the paper is clean with scattered light foxing, most visible on the early leaves, and a pencil notation appears on a flyleaf. A solid, attractive copy of a small prayer book that has clearly been used and kept.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51386224443670,"sku":"AMD-03092","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/June_2026_drews_books-8295.jpg?v=1780511593","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/hele-private-devotion-1833-morocco","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
