A Guide To The Cathedrals Of England And Wales Their History Architecture And Traditions With Short Notes Of The Chief Objects Of Interest In Every Cathedral City

Excerpt from The Cathedrals of the United Kingdom: Their History, Architecture, Monuments, and Traditions With Short Notes of the Chief Objects of Interest in Each Cathedral City and a Popular Introduction to Church Architecture In deference to the kind and judicious suggestions of the friendly reviewers of the last Edition, some improvements and considerable additions have been made, a general introduction with a glossary of terms has been prefixed, and an uniform arrangement adopted in the present issue, which has been carefully revised in every page. The present volume has been enlarged with a description of the Cathedrals of Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man; an addition which, we hope, will prove acceptable to the reader, as it renders the book complete, and contains information hitherto not readily accessible. Illustrations were intended to be given; but, on consideration, it appeared that the views would necessarily be so numerous that the cost of the book would utterly defeat the design of making it a volume within reach of ordinary purses.
