Historic Dress of the Clergy

Historic Dress of the Clergy by the Rev Geo S Tyack written by Rev. George Smith Tyack, published by Anonim which was released on 25 January 1897. It is pleasing to observe on every hand signs of a lively, and growing, interest in things ecclesiastical. Subjects once left to the antiquary and the ecclesiologist, as requiring more time or learning than the claims of business would allow the mass of men to devote to them, are now studied by all classes with commendable earnestness and intelligence. It is to this general public that the author of the following pages addresses himself, in an attempt to supply, in a form popular yet exact, and brief yet comprehensive, an account of the historic dress of the clergy. His special aim has been to give useful information, and trustworthy help to the rank and file of the great and, he believes, daily growing forces of the English Church.
