Bell's Cathedral Series

ILl.u.s.tRATED MONOGRAPHS ON THE GREAT ENGLISH CATHEDRALS AND CHURCHES

_Crown 8vo. Profusely Ill.u.s.trated, in specially designed cloth binding, 1s. 6d. net each._

This series of monographs upon our great English Cathedral Churches has been framed to give students of Architecture handy reference volumes, and the visitor trustworthy guide-books, at once cheaper and more fully ill.u.s.trated than any previous works of similar character.

Each volume contains not only a complete history of the see and of the Cathedral fabric, but a critical and descriptive survey of the building in all its detail; sufficiently accurate from the archaeological point of view to furnish a trustworthy record of the building in its past and present condition, and not too technical in its language for the occasional use of the casual visitor. Brief biographical accounts of the bishops and other notable men connected with the Diocese are also included.

The volumes are fully ill.u.s.trated from modern photographs and drawings, and contain also reproductions from old, and in some cases rare, prints, for the purpose of tracing the gradual growth and development of the existing buildings.
