John Keble, author of "The Christian Year"

Published in 1827, "The Christian Year" was primarily used alongside the Bible and Book of Common Prayer for every Sunday in the calendar year, including entries for the days leading up to specific holidays, such as Easter. "The Christian Year" also contained entries for morning and evening meditations. Its author, John Keble, passed away in 1866 - "The Christian Year" outlived him by less than half a century, fading almost entirely from popular consciousness shortly after World War I.
