"It must not be supposed that the book is of interest only to
Churchmen, although primarily so, for it treats in such a skilful and
instructive manner with ancient manners and customs as to make it an
invaluable book of reference to all who are concerned in the seductive
study of antiquarian subjects."--_Chester Courant._
The Cross, in Ritual, Architecture, and Art.
BY THE REV. GEO. S. TYACK, B.A.
_Crown 8vo., 3s. 6d. Numerous Illustrations._
The Author of this Volume has brought together much valuable and
out-of-the-way information which cannot fail to interest and instruct the
reader. The work is the result of careful study, and its merits entitle it
to a permanent place in public and private libraries. Many beautiful
illustrations add to the value of the Volume.
"A book of equal interest to artists, archæologists, architects, and
the clergy has been written by the Rev. G. S. Tyack, upon 'The Cross
in Ritual, Architecture, and Art.' Although Mr. Tyack has restricted
himself to this country, this work is sufficiently complete for its
purpose, which is to show the manifold uses to which the Cross, the
symbol of the Christian Faith, has been put in Christian lands. It
treats of the Cross in ritual, in Church ornament, as a memorial of
the dead, and in secular mason work; of preaching crosses, wayside and
boundary crosses, well crosses, market crosses, and the Cross in
heraldry. Mr. Tyack has had the assistance of Mr. William Andrews, to
whom he records his indebtedness for the use of his collection of
works, notes, and pictures; but it is evident that this book has cost
many years of research on his own part. It is copiously and well
illustrated, lucidly ordered and written, and deserves to be widely
known."--_Yorkshire Post._
