This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Itinerary of the English Cathedrals for the Use of Travellers I have preserved Dr. Gilchrist's order, beginning with Liver pool, where the American tourist lands, but as the Itinerary brings the reader back to Liverpool a complete circuit is formed, and it is obvious that the beginning and ending may with equal convenience be made at any part of it. This book is likely to be found useful, chiefly by those who, having but a limited time, wish to see either the whole number of cathedrals, or a group in any particular district. But it will also serve to show those desirous of making a more thorough study of certain features or architectural styles where they may best be found and then fuller information may be obtained from the monographs in the Cathedral Series. It is hoped that the Introductory Chapter will be found sufficient to give the tourist, who has not made a study of architecture, enough information to enable him to enjoy intelligently the buildings that he visits. The map and table of the chief dimensions of the English Cathedral Churches will also be found useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Itinerary of the English Cathedrals for the Use of Travellers This little book, as originally written by Dr. Gilchrist, was intended especially for visitors from the United States, but with the idea that it would be equally useful to English tourists as a companion to their "Cathedral Series," the Publishers put the manuscript into my hands for revision. Besides correcting a few inaccuracies in the text, I have added at the head of each chapter a brief synopsis of the ecclesiastical character and architectural features of each cathedral church, and at the end have inserted the names of other buildings in the neighbourhood which the tourist, with time at his disposal, will find worth a visit. 1 have preserved Dr. Gilchrist's order, beginning with Liverpool, where the American tourist lands, but as the Itinerary brings the reader back to Liverpool a complete circuit is formed, and it is obvious that the beginning and ending may with equal convenience be made at any part of it.

The subject has been done so often and so well that an additional book would demand an apology if it pretended to compete with the labours of those who have spent long years in the study of special cathedrals, or with the charming recollections of travel that others have given the world from time to time. My plan has been merely to present in a single volume concise descriptions of the great ecclesiastical buildings of England, together with the story of their construction and historical associations supplemented with criticisms from the best authorities of their most striking architectural and artistic features.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not only is there built into a mediæval cathedral the accumulated thought of all the men who had occupied themselves with building during the preceding centuries, but you have the dream and aspiration of the bishop, abbot, or clergy for whom it was designed; the master mason's skilled construction; the work of the carver, the painter, the glazier, the host of men who, each in his own craft, knew all that had been done before them, and had spent their lives in struggling to surpass the works of their forefathers. It is more than this: there is not one shaft, one moulding, one carving, not one chiselmark in such a building, that was not designed specially for the place where it is found, and which was not the best that the experience of the age could invent for the purpose to which it is applied; nothing was borrowed; and nothing that was designed for one purpose was used for another. A thought or a motive peeps out through every joint; you may wander in such a building for weeks or for months together, and never know it all."
