About this book
The preface describes the book's purpose as giving a succinct account of the legal position of parish clergy in the Church of England, covering both spiritualities and temporalities. The preface excludes the subject of ordination through which clergy acquired the status of deacons or priests. The stated scope includes the episcopate and non-parochial clergy only insofar as those subjects connect with the parochial system.
The burial topics listed include fees, cremation, burial of cremated remains, and permission for burial without Church rites. The discussion of marriage explains that, absent contrary evidence, long reputation and cohabitation as husband and wife can establish a presumption of validity without proof of the ceremony.
