This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Story of Westminster Abbey Readers of this little volume must not expect to find in it a full description of the Abbey buildings, or a complete list of all the tombs, monuments, and other beautiful and interest ing things in the Abbey Church. That is not the aim of this book. Its chief object is to point out to British children how they may follow the great outlines of their country's history in Westminster Abbey, from the earliest ages down to our own time, - from the days of the far-off, legendary King Lucius to those of King Edward VII. The words, citizen of no mean city, ought surely to come into our minds as we look round the Abbey and see there, as we clearly can see, a kind of outward expression of all that is best in our national character.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roll-Call of Westminster Abbey There is a silence, which can almost be felt at this darkest hour of the night, inside the great church, a silence broken once and once only in the writer's experience by the fall of some apparently heavy body upon the pavement of the choir. After a breathless moment of suspense, and a search aided by the watchman's lantern, the tiny half starved corpse of a sparrow was discovered on the stones, the intense quietness around illustrated by the noise so small an object had caused.

And on the site of that lit tle church dedicated to St. Peter upon the thorn grown island in the marshes, grew up centuries later the glorious Abbey that all English and American boys and girls should love. For that Abbey is the record of the growth of our two great nations. Within its walls we are on common ground. We are in goodly company;' among those who by their words and deeds and examples have made England and America what they are. America is represented just as much as England by every monument in the Abbey earlier than the Civil And within the last few years England has been proud to enshrine in her Pantheon the memories of two great and good Americans George Peabody, the philanthropist, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the poet. Come with me, in spirit, my American friends, and let us wander down to Westminster on some warm June morning.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to the First and Second Editions of Historical Memorials of Westminster Abbey In the second and third editions of this work I have been suggested by critics, or kindly sent to me from various quarters, for which I beg to return my sincere thanks. It is only by such information that a work touching on so many points of English history and art can be brought to anything like the correctness which the subject requires. I have also expanded or justified some statements which have been questioned on insufficient grounds. Other additions have been made from the constant appearance of fresh objects of interest in the Abbey. Of these, the most important is the record of the Royal Vaults in Henry VII.'s Chapel, as disclosed in the search for the burial-place of King James I. The details of the monastic and capitular history, although not capable of any material enlargement, have been drawn out at somewhat more length. Some additional sources of information have come to light, particularly the Mss. of the Heralds Office communicated by Mr. Doyne C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Westminster Abbey T would be idle to hope that any commendatory words of mine could add weight to the intrinsic merits of the pages to which they are prefixed. But I rejoice to feel myself in any way associated alike with the story which they record and with the purpose which they were designed to fulfil. The volume itself, apart from the illustrations with which it is enriched, is the work of a daughter whose interest in the historical associations of the Abbey has never flagged from the year in which it first became her home, to the present moment, when her residence is still fixed in its immediate neighbourhood. I can answer for the careful study of which it is the result, and for the pains which have been taken to secure the advice and assistance of those who were specially qualified to give guidance and information. My own contribution to the work has amounted to little beyond occasional assistance and supervision, general encouragement, and a hopeful desire for its success a success which I cannot but think will be considerable, and which, if attained, she 'will owe to her own efforts and judgment, and to the use which she has made of the abundant materials at her disposal.
