"The volume is of a most informing and suggestive character, abounding in facts not easy of access to the ordinary reader, and enhanced with illustrations of a high order of merit, and extremely numerous."--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._ "The contents of the volume are very good."--_Leeds Mercury._ "The volume is sure to meet with a cordial reception."--_Manchester Courier._ "A fascinating book."--_Stockport Advertiser._ "Mr. Andrews has brought together much curious matter."--_Manchester Guardian._ "The book is a very readable one, and will receive a hearty welcome."--_Herts. Advertiser._ "Mr. William Andrews has been able to give us a very acceptable and useful addition to the books which deal with the curiosities of Church lore, and for this deserves our hearty thanks. The manner in which the book is printed and illustrated also commands our admiration."--_Norfolk Chronicle._ 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._
