Ancient Stone Crosses of England (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Ancient Stone Crosses of England The following brief chapters on the "Crosses of England" appeared originally in another form. By request, they have been collected in the present volume, advantage being taken of the re-issue to make such emendations and corrections as a second revision would be likely to suggest. The plan of the work being limited, the subject is treated in a popular manner - rigid scientific arrangement would have been out of place on so small a scale. For the sake of variety and interest, antiquarian notes, historical memoranda, and scraps of biography are freely blended with the text. Much pains have been taken and expense incurred in the production of the Engravings, which, it is believed, will be found of a high character, both architecturally and pictorially.
