SACRED ARCHEOLOGY ; a Popular Dictionary of Eccle- 



siastical Art and Institutions, from Primitive to Modern Times. Compris- 

 ing Architecture, Music, Vestments, Furniture Arrangement, Offices, Cus- 

 toms, Kitual Symbolism, Ceremonial Traditions, Religious Orders, etc., of 

 the Church Catholic in all Ages. By Mackenzie E. C. Walcott, 

 E.D. Oxon., F.S.A., Prsecentor and Prebendary of Chichester Cathedral. 

 Demy 8vo, 18*. 



Mr. Walcott's ' Dictionary of Sacred Archaeology' is designed to satisfy a great 

 and growing want in the literature of the day. The increased interest taken by 

 large classes of the community in the Ecclesiastical History, the Archseology, the 

 Ritual, Artistic, and Conrentiial Usages of the early and middle ages of Christen- 

 dom has not been met by the publication of manuals at all fitted by their com- 

 prehensiveness, their accuracy, and the convenience of their arrangement to 

 supply this highly important demand. To combine in one the varied and general 

 Information required by the cultivated reader at large with the higher and more 

 special sources of knowledge of which the student of ecclesiastical lore has need, 

 Is the object which has been kept in view in the compilation now offered to the 

 public. In no work of the kind has the English public, it is confidently believed, 

 had presented to it so large and varied a mass of matter in a form so conveniently 

 arranged for reference. One valuable feature to which attention may be invited 

 is the copious list of authorities prefixed to Mr. Walcott's Dictionary. The 

 student will here find himself put readily upon the track for following up any 

 particular line of inquiry, of which the Dictionary has given him the first outlines.
