Book Description

Excerpt from The Temple Church Now that this has been effected I am enabled to lay before the reader a much more full and complete description of the venerable building than it was in my power previously to do. A vast many objects of interest which were not in existence at the period of the publication of my first work, are fully described in the ensuing pages, and an account is given of various interesting discoveries made during the recent restoration. More than one half of the present volume consequently consists of entirely new and fresh matter, and to make room for it I have greatly shortened and condensed the chapter containing an account of the history of the Temple sub sequent to the dissolution of the order of the Knights Templars.
