Book Description

Excerpt from Illustrative Views of the Metropolitan Cathedral Church of Canterbury: Exhibiting the Most Interesting Points of Its Architecture and Antiquities, in Nineteen Highly-Finished Line Engravings The plates in this publication furnish views of the most interesting and picturesque portions of the venerable and magnificent Cathedral of Canterbury - their general fidelity and accuracy of detail has been ensured by the proofs of the plates being corrected on the spot. In the accompanying description, care has been taken to embrace every thing essential to a popular account, without encumbering the work with unnecessary details - in a word, no more letter-press has been introduced than was thought requisite to make the publication a complete "Guide to the Cathedral," and to render the study of this ancient and beautiful pile available to the diffusion of a better understanding of the principles, and a higher relish for the beauties, of Cathedral architecture.
