Excerpt from Cathedral Antiquities: Historical and Descriptive Accounts, With 311 Illustrations, of the Following English Cathedrals As buildings only they amuse and delight almost every spectator; but associate them with the sublimity and benignity of the Christian religion, and with the amazing ostentation and tyranny of ancient monachism, they awaken the most active curiosity and interest. Yet, strange to say, these wonderful edifices have been hitherto much neglected by the discriminating historian and the antiquary. Each may be said to have its local guide; but this is frequently executed by some illiterate or fulsome panegyrist. The person always, or generally attached to one church, is certainly not well qualified to appreciate its beauties and defects - its real and comparative importance. He usually acquires a common-place and technical mode of commenting on it; and too frequently continues and perseveres in old prejudices and established errors. It will be the endeavour of the present author to explain and correct such things and to offer his criticisms with freedom, but with strict regard to liberality and candour.
