The Pious Guide to Prayer and Devotion Containing Practices of Piety Calculated to Answer the Demands of the Devout Members of the Roman Catholic Church (Georgetown (Potowmack [sic]) D.C.: James Doyle, April 23, MDCCXCII [1792]).
One of the first prayer books written and published in the United States for use by the Catholic laity was The Pious Guide to Prayer and Devotion.1 This book was written in English and published in Georgetown in 1792. Its publication came three years after the establishment of the Baltimore Diocese and a year after the issuance of the nation? first ecclesiastical legislation by the first Catholic National Synod (1791).2 At least eight editions of The Pious Guide were issued between 1792 and 1851.
