THE Proprietors of the CLERICAL GUIDE, in offering the Third Edition to the Public, return their respectful thanks for the favourable reception of the former Editions, and beg to add that no labour or expense has been spared to render the Work worthy of a continuance of their patronage.
In the present Edition, amongst other improvements will be found enumerated such Churches and Chapels as have been built, or are in progress, by His Majesty's Commissioners for building additional Churches and Chapels, in pursuance of several Acts of Parliament passed during the late and present reigns for that purpose; distinguishing such Parishes as have been divided by the Commissioners into Ecclesiastical Districts, by virtue of powers granted to them by Parliament.
The Proprietors have to offer their best acknowledgements to the numerous gentlemen who have furnished them with information of the changes and alterations that have taken place since the publication of the Second Edition; and they trust that in consequence of these communications the names of the Incumbents and Patrons of Benefices, will be found more correctly described in the present, than in the two former Editions.
London, March 23, 1829.
