The Clerical Profession in the Long Eighteenth Century, 1680-1840 - W. M. (Archdeacon of Charing Cross in the diocese of London) Jacob

A study of the clergy of the Church of England as a professional group during the later Stuart and Georgian periods. Jacobs describes their social backgrounds, selection and education, lifestyles, and supervision, and challenges long-held views that most were inappropriately educated, poverty-stricken, and neglectful of their duties.
