Historic Dress of the Clergy.
BY THE REV. GEO. S. TYACK, B.A.,
Author of "The Cross in Ritual, Architecture, and Art."
_Crown, cloth extra, 3s. 6d._
The work contains thirty-three illustrations from ancient monuments,
rare manuscripts, and other sources.
"A very painstaking and very valuable volume on a subject which is
just now attracting much attention. Mr. Tyack has collected a large
amount of information from sources not available to the unlearned,
and has put together his materials in an attractive way. The book
deserves and is sure to meet with a wide circulation."--_Daily
Chronicle._
"This book is written with great care, and with an evident knowledge
of history. It is well worth the study of all who wish to be better
informed upon a subject which the author states in his preface gives
evident signs of a lively and growing interest."--_Manchester
Courier._
"Those who are interested in the Dress of the Clergy will find full
information gathered together here, and set forth in a lucid and
scholarly way."--_Glasgow Herald._
"We are glad to welcome yet another volume from the author of 'The
Cross in Ritual, Architecture, and Art.' His subject, chosen widely
and carried out comprehensively, makes this a valuable book of
reference for all classes. It is only the antiquary and the
ecclesiologist who can devote time and talents to research of this
kind, and Mr. Tyack has done a real and lasting service to the
Church of England by collecting so much useful and reliable
information upon the dress of the clergy in all ages, and offering
it to the public in such a popular form. We do not hesitate to
recommend this volume as the most reliable and the most
comprehensive illustrated guide to the history and origin of the
canonical vestments and other dress worn by the clergy, whether
ecclesiastical, academical, or general, while the excellent work in
typography and binding make it a beautiful gift-book."--_Church
Bells._
"A very lucid history of ecclesiastical vestments from Levitical
times to the present day."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"The book can be recommended to the undoubtedly large class of
persons who are seeking information on this and kindred
subjects."--_The Times._
"The work may be read either as pastime or for instruction, and is
worthy of a place in the permanent section of any library. The
numerous illustrations, extensive contents table and index, and
beautiful workmanship, both in typography and binding, are all
features of attraction and utility."--_Dundee Advertiser._
