See “The Essays of Virginia Woolf”, Vol. IV (1994): 



“Archbishop Thompson”, p. 207

“… the Ritualists vexed him so persistently that even his vast strength felt the strain. … there was the Rev. John Purchas, who, dressed in cope, alb, biretta and stole 'cross-wise', lit candles and extinguished them 'for no special reason'; filled a vessel with black powder and rubbed it into the foreheads of his congregation; and hung over the Holy Table 'a figure, image, or stuffed skin of a dove, in a flying attitude'.”



“Julia Margaret Cameron”, p. 377

“Was the surplice of the Rev. C. Beanlands only passably clean?  Mrs Prinsep would set up a laundry in her own house and wash the entire linen of the clergy of St Michael’s at her own expense.”
