The commemorative Book Of Common Prayer produced for the Coronation of Edward VII. His coronation was originally scheduled for June 26th 1902, as per the bookplate in the present volume.
A few days before the planned ceremony, the King got appendicitis and developed peritonitis: unless he postponed the coronation and had an operation immediately he would die. The service was moved to 9th August to accommodate this.
