W. M. Jacob examines the concept of 'profession' during the later
Stuart and Georgian period, with special reference to the clergy of
the Church of England. He describes their social backgrounds, how
they were recruited, selected, and educated, and obtained jobs; how
they were paid, and their lifestyles and family life, as well as
examining the evidence for what they did as leaders of worship,
pastors and teachers, how their parishioners responded to them, and
how they were supervised. Jacob concludes that, contrary to popular
views, the clerical profession was much better organized, educated,
and supervised than the medical and legal professions during this
period. During the 'age of reform' from the 1780s to the 1830s, all
the professions were criticized: Jacob suggests that the modest
regulation and professional training introduced in the other
learned professions in the 1830s only slowly brought them to the
standard already achieved by the clerical profession.
