In the subdivision of ecclesiology with which this book is concerned， originality， whether of fact or treatment， is practically impossible. This work cannot claim to be more than a compilation， but it can claim to fill a space not exactly occupied by any other book， in that it gives in a brief and convenient form the principal facts connected with vestments and their use throughout the chief sub divisions of the Christian Church it is not， as are almost all other works on the subject， confined to one branch only， or at most to the great Churches of the West and the East， but includes as well the smaller and more isolated communities， and those branches of the Universal Church which have undergone reformation.
