dford relative to their duties,
powers, rights and privileges."--_Guardian_, April 9th.
"The Bishop of Guildford has just published a very useful little handbook
for the use and guidance of Church wardens . . . The book is a most
helpful one with regard to Church matters."--_Hampshire Chronicle_.
"The Bishop of Guildford's _Churchwardens' Manual_ meets a real want, in
that it provides in small compass . . . a handy pocket book containing
the many matters legal and ecclesiastical, which concern the
Churchwarden's office . . . No one ought to assume it without being armed
with such a work as this, and an Incumbent cannot do better than present
his Churchwardens with this little Manual."--_Church Times_.
"It is a Manual which ought to be in the possession of every holder of
the important office of Churchwarden, and which other Churchmen also
would do well to familiarise themselves with, as a better understanding
of the subject would be greatly to the advantage of many parishes; clear,
precise, handy and cheap, it is precisely the handbook that was
wanted."--_Winchester Observer_.
"A thoroughly useful and practical work, and just the one which ought to
be in the hands both of Incumbents and Churchwardens."--_Ecclesiastical
Chronicle_.
