Synopsis

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1849 Edition.

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.
