CROCKFORD'S CLERICAL DIRECTORY

FOR 1860.

BEING A

Biographical and Statistical Book of Reference for

FACTS RELATING TO THE CLERGY AND THE CHURCH.

THE

THE CLERICAL DIRECTORY gives, in alphabetical order, the name and address of Clergymen in England and Wales; and, in addition, the whole of the facts having reference to himself, or to the Living or Curacy (as the case may be) which he holds. It presents, at one view, a Conspectus of the Collegiate, Clerical, and Literary Career, and of the present position of each Clergyman; besides giving a large amount of the statistical information in reference to his Living.

This vast and varied collection of facts and dates relating to the Clergy and the Church may be fully relied on for accuracy, having been obtained by a Fourfold Canvass of the whole of the English Clergy. The cost of collection and compilation has been very great; but the Publisher believes that he has succeeded in producing the most useful, because most complete and comprehensive, Directory of the Clergy and the Church which has yet been offered to the Public.

As the CLERICAL DIRECTORY is the only reference-book of the kind which correctly gives the Addresses of the Clergy, its utility will be as great in the Counting-house as in the Library.

Contents of the Clerical Directory:

SURNAME and CHRISTIAN NAME, in full, of Clergymen
in England and Wales, with the real Address and Post-
town.

THE COLLEGE or PUBLIC SCHOOL and UNIVERSITY of
which each is or has been a Member, with the dates of the
Scholarships, Exhibitions, Fellowships, and Tutorships held
by each, as well as all Academical Honours, Prizes, and Degrees.
HOLY ORDERS.-The Year when obtained, with the Diocese
and Name of the Ordinating Bishop.
PREFERMENTS and APPOINTMENTS held by each Clergy-
man, from the youngest Curate to the Primate of all England,
with the Date of Appointment, Name and Address of Patron,
and amount of Stipend. (In numerous instances the whole of
a Clergyman's past Appointments are also registered.)
BENEFICES.-Description of all Ecclesiastical Benefices, with
their Post-towns, Diocese, Name and Address of Patron,

Amount of Tithe, Acreage of Glebe, Augmentations, Endow. ment, Glebe House, or Rectory, gross Value to the Beneficed, and amount of Population.

EPISCOPAL and PUBLIC APPOINTMENTS,-such as Surro-
gate, Inspector of Schools, Rural Dean, Justice of the Peace,
Master of an Endowed or Public School,-are added in each
instance.

DIGNITIES HELD by CLERGYMEN,-such as Bishop, Dean,
Chapter, Canon, Archdeacon, Prebend, with the date and yearly
value of each Appointment,-are likewise noted.
BOOKS WRITTEN or EDITED by Clergymen are described
in each instance, with all particulars as to Title, Size, Pub-
lisher, date of Publication, and Price.

REFERENCE to Livings, Benefices, and Appointments, is
rendered perfectly easy by means of a separate and ample
Index.
