Transcribed from the 1897 Simpkin and Co. edition by David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.org Winchester: Printed by Warren & Son, 85, High Street. Churchwardens' Manual: _THEIR DUTIES_, _POWERS_, _RIGHTS_, _AND PRIVILEGES_. BY GEORGE HENRY, D.D., _Bishop of Guildford and Archdeacon of Winchester_. Third Edition. LONDON: SIMPKIN AND CO., LIMITED. WINCHESTER: WARREN AND SON, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, HIGH STREET. _All rights reserved_. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The fact that a Second Edition of this Manual has been called for within a few months of its first publication, shows, I think, that it has met a want which was previously felt by Clergy and Churchwardens. The whole of the Manual has been revised, and additions made with special reference to the Burial Laws, the position of District Churches as regards the Mother Church, and the conveyance of land or buildings to trustees for mission or other purposes, which it is hoped will add to its value. G. H. G. THE CLOSE, WINCHESTER. _October_, _1890_. PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. Additions have been made to the present Edition, especially with reference to the changes which the Local Government Act, 1894, has made as to the duties of Churchwardens. It is hoped that these additions may be found useful. I once more express the hope that this Manual may be found increasingly helpful in the hands of the Churchwardens in the carrying out of their very responsible duties as officers of the Church. G. H.
