Book excerpt: Excerpt from Westminster Abbey, Its Architecture, History and Monuments, Vol. 2 After the Queen's death it is said that the baser passions of avarice and inins tice gained sway with him. Naturally cautious and prudent, his many years of deprivation and exile may have empha sized this tendency. Constant companion ship with a nature so generous, so unself ish, so sweet and loveable as that of his queen, may have held these unbeautiful qualities of the king in abeyance: and, in any case, they seem to have been some what exaggerated by historians.

Download or read book Westminster Abbey written by Mary Sturgeon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Westminster Abbey: Its Memories and Its Message Very varied are these spiritual qualities which have come to be focused in the Abbey, and which are, in sum, the Spirit of our Race. To recall them and the Great Dead in whom they originated is a stimulus and an inspiration. But other interest gathers about them as we watch the familiar native touch upon them all, and observe that they are English not only in their merits but in their defects; and that a history of our civilization, in its weakness as well as its strength, might be read from these manifestations of the Spirit of a Nation in Westminster Abbey. Our physical history, with its origin in the union of many races, is implicit in the beginnings of Westminster. It is symbolized in the very fabric itself, where all sorts of foreign elements have been assimilated, and where the minds and hands of several nations have co-operated in labour. In the foundations of our civil life many stones were laid by the monks of this 'monastery in the West'; and thus there enters into the national spirit a vital element drawn from the Benedictine Rule. In dynastic history the close association of the Crown with the Church at Westminster is seen to take its rise in two specifically English things in the royal Founders - the warm affection which existed between the Confessor and his people, and the deep piety of Henry III.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architecture and History, and Westminster Abbey You all know what a different spirit has animated history in these latter days from that which used to be thought enough to give it interest to thinking men. Time was, and not so long ago, when the clever essay writer(ratherthan historian) made his history surrounded by books whose value he weighed rather by the degree in which they conformed to an arbitrary standard of literary excellence than by any indications they might give of being able to afford a glimpse into the past. So treated, the very books were not capable of yielding the vast stores of knowledge of history which they really possessed, if dealt with by the historical method. It is true that for the most part these books were generally written for other purposes than that of giving simple information to those to come after; at their honestest the writers were compelled to look on life through the spectacles thrust on them by the conventional morality of their own times; at their dishonestest, they were servile flatterers in the pay of the powers that were.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Westminster Abbey: A Short History and Description of the Church and Conventual Buildings With Notes on the Monuments Accurately to state the books on which this account of Westminster Abbey is based would necessitate the inclusion in these pages of a bibliography. Needless to say, the older works, such as those of Keepe, Dart, Widmore, Gough, Ayloffe, Ackermann, Neale and Brayley, and Harding have been frequently laid under contribution. Much valuable information has been obtained from T fie Abéey Register, edited by Colonel Chester; from Dean Stanley's Memorials; and from Gleanings from Westminster Aébey, edited by Mr. Parker. The author has likewise made use of the more recent books of Mr. Loftie, Mr. Hare, and Miss Bradley. The Dean of Westminster has most courteously helped him in a question of detail. He is greatly indebted to the numerous learned papers of Mr. J. T. Micklethwaite; and his thanks are due to Mr. Edward Bell, to has given him the benefit of his minute study of the older monu ments, and has assisted him in many other matters with valuable advice.
