More detailed than a dictionary yet more compact than an encyclopedia, this lexicon includes more than 7,000 entries in a single volume. Some are common, some obscure, some just fun, but all of them informative. With a bibliography of more than 200 reference works, this collection may be considered authoritative, but will of course never be complete. The last time anything this comprehensive was attempted in the Anglican Church was Frederick George Lee's "Glossary of Liturgical and Ecclesiastical Terms" (London, 1877).
