This article appears in Volume V16, Page 499 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LESSON (through Fr. lecon from Lat. lectio, reading; legere, to read) , properly a certain portion of a
book
  appointed to be read aloud, or learnt for repetition, hence anything learnt or studied, a course of instruction or study. A specific meaning of the word is that of a portion of Scripture or other religious writings appointed to be read at divine service, in accordance with a table known as a " lectionary." In the
Church
  of England the lectionary is so ordered that most of the Old Testament is read through during the year as the First Lesson at Morning and Evening
Prayer
 , and as the Second Lesson the whole of the New Testament, except
Revelation
 , of which only portions are read. (See
LECTION
  and LECTIONARY.)
