“The work is cleverly compiled, and the illustrations add not a little to its value as a souvenir to be treasured by those who visit the cathedral, not because it is one of the sights of London, but for the reason that they take an intelligent and reverential interest in that great monument of Wren’s genius.”—City Press.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY. By Charles Hiatt. Third Edition. With 45 Illustrations and 2 Plans.

“It has been compiled with great care from the best authorities, and is especially full on the monuments. Visitors could not have a better guide to the most famous of English minsters.”—London Quarterly Review.

“This excellent work is likely to become the most popular guide to Westminster Abbey. It supplies the need both of the student of architecture and the visitor to London, giving a capital rÉsumÉ of the history of the Abbey, with a well-written description of the building itself. The book is profusely illustrated.”—Liverpool Mercury.

ST. SAVIOUR’S, SOUTHWARK. By George Worley. With 36 Illustrations and a Plan.

“Mr. Worley’s painstaking description of the cathedral is the most complete that we have seen, and its value is increased by many good illustrations and a plan.”—Manchester Guardian.

“Those who wish to visit this Metropolitan Cathedral intelligently, and with personal profit, will do well to possess themselves with this reliable and interesting little handbook.”—Builder.

“An admirable example of careful work.”—Gentleman’s Magazine.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW-THE-GREAT, SMITHFIELD. A short History of the Foundation, and a Description of the Fabric, and also of the Church of St. Bartholomew-the-Less. By George Worley. With 42 Illustrations and a Plan.

“The author has made a conscientious study of the venerable Smithfield church, and has succeeded in presenting a thoroughly interesting account of this remarkable relic of the twelfth century.”—Builder’s Journal.

“Mr. Worley has treated his subject with skill, and produced a most readable volume.”—Church Times.

THE TEMPLE CHURCH. A Description of the Fabric and its Contents, with a short History of the Order. By George Worley. Second Edition, Revised. With 31 Illustrations and a Plan.

To any one interested, such an excellent handbook as this, with its lucid explanations, plans, photographs, and technical information of the very best, is indispensable.”—Spectator.
