Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the Cathedral Church of Oxford: Illustrated by a Series of Engravings, Views, Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Details of That Edifice; With Biographical Anecdotes of the Bishops, and of Other Eminent Persons Connected With the Church It is my wish, as it is my duty, to please all classes of readers, if possible but when this cannot be done, I must endeavour to satisfy the demands Of those who are presumed to have the most taste on such subjects, and improve the knowledge and judgment of others who are not too arrogant to receive instruction, or too obstinately determined in their own theories to admit the evidence of facts. When I commenced the Cathedral Antiquities, I fancied that perspective and picturesque views of those noble edifices, would be satisfactory to nearly all classes of readers but I soon perceived my error, and found that they afforded no practical information to the architect, or to the fastidious antiquary. They required correct geometrical elevations, sections, and details; because these only gave the true forms and proportions of arches, columns, and other members of buildings. Some perspective views are now, as they will hereafter, be introduced, principally to show the effects of a Whole building, or of such portions as are distinguished for archi tectural beauty, grandeur, or combination. To dr. Smith, the treasurer of Christ Church, I present my best acknowledgments for many acts of civility: to john nash, Esq., architect to the king; to the rev. Jos. Coneybeare, and to the rev. James ingram, I am also obliged 'for kind and friendly assistance in promoting my researches. The present history and illustrations have been long in progress, but unavoidable delays have arisen, from causes, which I could not control; a detail of which it will be useless to repeat. The work is now respectfully submitted to the kindness and candour Of the reader; and it is confidently hoped that he will exercise both these generous qualities in the examination of, and in' his comments on, its execution.

Download or read book Broken Idols of the English Reformation written by Margaret Aston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 1994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the Cathedral Church of Salisbury: Illustrated With a Series of Engravings, of Views, Elevations, Plans, and Details of That Edifice; Also Etchings of the Ancient Monuments and Sculpture; Including Biographical Anecdotes of the Bishops, and of Other Eminent Persons Connected With the Churc As buildings only they amuse and delight almost every'spectator but associate them with the sublimity and benignity of the Chris tian religion, and with the amazing ostentation and tyranny of ancient monachism, they awaken the most active curiosity and interest. Yet, strange to say, these wonderful edifices have been hitherto much neglected by the discriminating historian and the antiquary. Each may be said to have its local guide; but this is frequently executed by some illiterate or fulsome panegyris't. The person always, or generally attached to one church, is certainly not well qualified to appreciate its beauties and defects - its real and comparative importance. He usually acquires a common - plac'e and technical mode of commenting on it; and too frequently continues and perseveres in old prejudices and established errors. It will be the endeavour of the present author to explain and correct such things; and to offer his criticisms with freedom, but with strict regard to liberality and candour.
