In other churches I have observed, that nothing unseemly or ruinous is to be found, except in the clergyman and the appendages of his person. The 'squire of the parish, or his ancestors perhaps, to testify their devotion, and leave a lasting monument of their magnificence, have adorned the altar-piece with the richest crimson velvet, embroidered with...
