A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ecclesiastical A rchitecture, has been enlarged by two additional chapters treating on the internal arrangement of churches, previous to, and after the Reformation. The number of illustrations has also been considerably augmented. The first edition of this work was published in May, 1829. AG erman translation of the seventh edition of this work was published at Leipzig in 1847. The same short explanatory Glossary of the technical terms occurring in the book, which appeared in former editions, has been appended to this. The sources from whence the ancient Architectural Terms contained in the Centenary at the end of the work have been chiefly jcollected, are the contracts relating to the building of the churches |of Fotheiingay and Catterick, and of King sC ollege Chapel, IC ambridge ;the wills of Henry VI. and Henry VII.; the account I of the expenses incurred on the chapel of the Royal Palace at IW estminster, published by Brayley and Britton; and the expenses jincuiT ed in building the broach or spire of Louth Church; the jworks of Gervase of Canterbury, Matthew Paris, William of IW orcester, and Leland; and the Ancient Wills published byS ir N. H. Nicholas, and by theS urtees Society at Durham. The last, and some of the former editions of this work were printed at the University Press, Oxford, by my friend Mr. Combe, Printer to the University, who also printed the first and other early editions at Leicester. The present edition has been piinted at Rugby by Mr. Billington, Bookseller toR ugby School, to whom, for his supervision of the work, whilst passing through the press, I am greatly indebted. M. H. B. Rugby, Mat 12, 1859.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
