Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
New Edition of the Guide to the Abbey Church compiled by the late Dr. Nicholson has been issued. In the meantime very extensive alterations have taken place in the building, and much of the Guide has consequently become obsolete. Under these circumstances it has been thought desirable to re-write those portions of the work which comprised the guide to the architectural features of the A bbey, and this task I have entrusted to Mr. William Page, F.S.A. Mr. Page has now with great care accomplished this; the historical extracts compiled by Dr. Nicholson being, with few unimportant corrections, just as Dr. Nicholson left them. It must not be forgotten that there still remains in the Abbey Church ?.n immense store of historical, archaeological and architectural information, which is of the utmost value to the student, and of great interest to the intelligent visitor, whom this Guide is specially designed to assist. The thorough structural repair which the building has undergone (chiefly, as is well known, at the cost of Lord Grimthorpe), will, it is to be hoped, preserve the Abbey Church, now the ecclesiastical centre of the Diocese of St. A lbans, for centuries to come. WALTER J. LAWRANCE, Rector of St. A lbats Cathedral and Abbey Church and Archdeacon of St. A lbans. Sett,

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
