Présentation de l'éditeur
In a book of this size, it is clearly impossible to give a full description of the architecture of the thirty cathedrals of England. The principal aim of the book is to throw something of a personal interest around the cathedrals, by giving glimpses of the bishops, rulers, and other noted personages who have been connected with them through the long series of years which have elapsed since their erection. At the same time, an attempt has been made to state briefly but comprehensively the salient and distinguishing characteristics of each edifice. The collection of notes, which, under the title In Explanation, constitutes the concluding section of the book, will, it is believed, prove of interest.
