SOME PRESS NOTICES
Birmingham Post.—“Valuable for lucid description and enlightened criticism of architectural and technical details combined with suggestive treatment of historical facts. A certain charm of manner contributes to the interest.”
La Chronique des Arts et de la Curiosité.—“Une illustration copieuse établie avec des soins tout documentaires; des index; une table par ordre chronologique, une autre par noms de lieux, viennent faciliter les recherches et permettre au lecteur de tirer bénéfice des vastes resources d’une érudition informée et sure.”
Revue de l’Art Chrétien.—“M. Bond est le premier qui ait traité ce sujet; il l’a fait avec une grande compétence, et son intéressant ouvrage nous fait regretter que chez nous pareil travail ne tente un de nos érudits.”
The Builder.—“The illustrations are admirable, and we cordially recommend our readers to undertake their examination with the help of so accomplished and genial a cicerone as Mr Bond.”
The Antiquary.—“The volume abounds with fine illustrations, which even more than the text make us realise the extraordinary beauty and variety of the craftsmanship.”
The Architect.—“A most delightful and valuable account of the marvellous fertility of design, the exquisite craftsmanship, and the pious generosity of mediæval England.”
Cambridge Review.—“The fourth of a series of handbooks of which it is difficult to speak too highly.”
Building News.—“A monument of industry and erudition.”
The Cabinet Maker.—“Every lover of woodwork should possess this series, which contains beautiful illustrations and most interesting descriptions of the noble heritage of magnificent work handed down to us by the mediæval Church.”
