work."--_Yorkshire Post._ "'A Book About Bells' will interest almost everyone. Antiquaries will find in it an immense store of information: but the general reader will equally feel that it is a book well worth reading from beginning to end."--_The News_, Edited by the Rev. Charles Bullock, B.D. "An excellent work."--_Stockton Herald._ "It is a well-written work, and it is sure to be popular."--_Hull Christian Voice._ "Covers the whole field of bell-lore."--_Scotsman._ "Most interesting and finely illustrated."--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._ * * * * * 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 il
