THE ANTIQUARY’S BOOKS

_Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. net each._

“The ‘Antiquary’s Books’ makes an excellent commencement in the first volume. It is in outward respects a shapely demy octavo in scarlet cloth, well printed, illustrated with thirty or forty plates.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

“The publishers have been fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. Dr. Cox, one of the most learned and painstaking of antiquaries, as general editor of the series. Antiquarian books too often are as dry as matchwood, but there is no reason why they should be so, and the present volume abundantly testifies to this.”—_Birmingham Post._

Messrs. Methuen are publishing a series of volumes dealing with various branches of English Antiquities.

It is confidently hoped that these books will prove to be comprehensive and popular, as well as accurate and scholarly; so that they may be of service to the general reader, and at the same time helpful and trustworthy books of reference to the antiquary or student. The writers will make every endeavour to avail themselves of the most recent research.

The series is edited by the well-known antiquary, J. Charles Cox, LL.D., F.S.A., Member of the Royal Archæological Institute, Corresponding Member of the British Archæological Association, and Council Member of the Canterbury and York Record Society, and of the British Numismatic Society. Each book is entrusted to an expert in the selected subject, and the publishers are fortunate in having secured the services of distinguished writers.

A special feature is made of the illustrations, which will vary, according to the requirements of the subjects, from 50 to 150. Some are in colour. The type is large and clear, the length of each volume is about 320 pages.

ENGLISH MONASTIC LIFE Third Edition

By ABBOT GASQUET, O.S.B., D.D., PH.D., D.LITT. With 42 Illustrations, 5 Maps, and 3 Plans.

“This delightful book, so full of quaint learning, is like a painted window, through which, if one looks, one may see the old world of the Middle Ages as that world must have shown itself to a monk.”—_Daily News._

“Curiously interesting and highly instructive.”—_Punch._

“An extremely interesting summary of the laws which governed the religious and domestic life in the great monasteries.”—_Yorkshire Post._

REMAINS OF THE PREHISTORIC AGE IN ENGLAND

By BERTRAM C. A. WINDLE, SC.D., F.R.S., F.S.A.

With 94 Illustrations by Edith Mary Windle

“It gives a tabulated list of such remains; divided into counties, and subdivided into earthworks, barrows, camps, dykes, megalithic monuments, and so on, with detailed explanations; to these are added a list of museums in which specimens of prehistoric remains are preserved. Confining himself almost entirely to accepted facts in the science of archæology, the Professor devotes no more space to what he describes as theory spinning about the dates of various epochs than is necessary to present the subject with completeness, especially on its geological side. Mrs. Windle’s excellent illustrations throughout the volume add greatly to its value.”—_Yorkshire Post._

THE OLD SERVICE-BOOKS OF THE ENGLISH CHURCH.

By CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH, M.A., AND HENRY LITTLEHALES

With 38 Plates, 4 of which are in Colour

“It is infinitely more than a fascinating book on the treasures of past ages. It is the history of the making of a great and living book. The illustrations are most beautifully reproduced.”—_St. James’s Gazette._

“Scholars will find that its pages are thoroughly trustworthy. The introduction yields a great deal of unusual knowledge pertaining to the subject. The illustrations are exceptionally numerous and creditable in execution for a book of moderate price, and are reproductions in facsimile from English originals. All save two are, we believe, given here for the first time.”—_Athenæum._

CELTIC ART IN PAGAN AND CHRISTIAN TIMES

By J. ROMILLY ALLEN, F.S.A.

With 44 Plates and 81 Illustrations in the text

“Unquestionably the greatest living authority on the Celtic Archæology of Great Britain and Ireland, he writes as only a master of his subject can. An admirable piece of work.”—_St. James’s Gazette._

“The letterpress and pictures are remarkably good throughout: both author and publishers are to be congratulated on the issue of so attractive and useful a book.”—_Athenæum._

SHRINES OF BRITISH SAINTS

By J. CHARLES WALL

With 28 Plates and 50 Illustrations in the text

“The present volume may be said to be of a slightly more popular character than that on ‘Old Service Books,’ but the same wide research and careful compilation of facts have been employed, and the result will be, to the general reader, equally informatory and interesting.”—_Academy._

“The shrines have for the most part passed away. What they were like may be learned from this volume.”—_Manchester Guardian._

“This is a good subject and one that is well handled by Mr. Wall.”—_Athenæum._

ARCHÆOLOGY AND FALSE ANTIQUITIES

By ROBERT MUNRO, M.A., M.D., LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.S.A. Scot.

With 18 Plates, a Plan, and 63 Illustrations in the text

“The author passes in review the more conspicuous instances of sham antiquities that have come to light since the beginning of the second half of the last century in Europe and in America.”—_Westminster Gazette._

“He provides us with an account of all the most famous attempts made by sinful men to impede the progress of archæology by producing forged antiquities; and he points out a number of examples of the way in which Nature herself has done the felony, placing beneath the hand of the enthusiastic hunter of remains objects which look as if they belonged to the Stone Age, but which really belonged to the gentleman next door before he threw them away and made them res nullius.”—_Outlook._

THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RECORDS

By NATHANIEL J. HONE.

With 54 Illustrations

“This book fills a hitherto empty niche in the library of popular literature. Hitherto those who desired to obtain some grasp of the origin of manors or of their administration had to consult the somewhat conflicting and often highly technical works. Mr. Hone has wisely decided not to take anything for granted, but to give lucid expositions of everything that concerns manors and manorial records.”—_Guardian._

“We could linger for a long while over the details given in this delightful volume, and in trying to picture a state of things that has passed away. It should be added that the illustrations are well-chosen and instructive.”—_Country Life._

“Mr. Hone presents a most interesting subject in a manner alike satisfying to the student and the general reader.”—_Field._

ENGLISH SEALS

By J. HARVEY BLOOM, M.A., Rector of Whitchurch

With 93 Illustrations

“The book forms a valuable addition to the scholarly series in which it appears. It is admirably illustrated.”—_Scotsman._

“A careful and methodical survey of this interesting subject, the necessary illustrations being numerous and well done.”—_Outlook._

“Presents many aspects of interest, appealing to artists and heraldic students, to lovers of history and of antiquities.”—_Westminster Gazette._

“Nothing has yet been attempted on so complete a scale, and the treatise will take rank as a standard work on the subject.”—_Glasgow Herald._

THE ROYAL FORESTS OF ENGLAND

By J. CHARLES COX, LL.D., F.S.A.

With 25 Plates and 23 Illustrations in the text

“A vast amount of general information is contained in this most interesting book.”—_Daily Chronicle._

“The subject is treated with remarkable knowledge and minuteness, and a great addition to the book are the remarkable illustrations.”—_Evening Standard._

“The volume is a storehouse of learning. The harvest of original research. Nothing like it has been published before.”—_Liverpool Post._

THE BELLS OF ENGLAND Second Edition

By CANON J. J. RAVEN, D.D., F.S.A., of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

With 60 Illustrations

“The history of English bells, of their founding and hanging, of their inscriptions and dedications, of their peals and chimes and carillons, of bell legends, of bell poetry and bell law, is told with a vast amount of detailed information, curious and quaint.”—_Tribune._

“The illustrations, as usual in this series, are of great interest.”—_Country Life._

THE DOMESDAY INQUEST

By ADOLPHUS BALLARD, B.A., LL.B., Town Clerk of Woodstock.

With 27 Illustrations

“In point of scholarship and lucidity of style this volume should take a high place in the literature of the Domesday Survey.”—_Daily Mail._

“Replete with information compiled in the most clear and attractive fashion.”—_Liverpool Post._

“The author holds the balance freely between rival theories.”—_Birmingham Post._

“Most valuable and interesting.”—_Liverpool Mercury._

“A brilliant and lucid exposition of the facts.”—_Standard._

“A vigorous and independent commentary.”—_Tribune._

PARISH LIFE IN MEDIÆVAL ENGLAND Second Edition

By ABBOT GASQUET, O.S.B., D.D., PH.D., D.LITT.

With 39 Illustrations

“A rich mine of well-presented information.”—_World._

“A captivating subject very ably handled.”—_Illustrated London News._

“A worthy sequel to the Abbot’s scholarly work on monastic life.”—_Liverpool Post._

“Essentially scholarly in spirit and treatment.”—_Tribune._

THE BRASSES OF ENGLAND Second Edition

By HERBERT W. MACKLIN, M.A., St. John’s Coll. Cambridge. President of the Monumental Brass Society

With 85 Illustrations

“There is no volume which covers the ground so fully as this study.”—_Birmingham Post._

“Mr. Macklin writes with enviable lucidity.”—_Standard._

“Reveals the value of English brasses as historical documents.”—_Westminster Gazette._

“The illustrations are plentiful and excellent.”—_Spectator._

ENGLISH CHURCH FURNITURE Second Edition

By J. CHARLES COX, LL.D., F.S.A., & A. HARVEY, M.B.

With 121 Illustrations

“A mine of carefully ordered information, for the accuracy of which Dr. Cox’s name on the title page is a sufficient guarantee.”—_Athenæum._

“This new volume fully maintains the high repute of its predecessors. Dr. Cox is one of our ablest ecclesiologists, and he and Mr. Harvey have collected a mass of valuable information of the greatest importance to antiquaries and architects. . . . There is a fine index of seventy-five columns, truly a pious work.”—_The Architectural Review._

“This volume is one of the ‘Antiquary’s Books’ series, and is more than worthy of its distinguished association. There has been an unsparing expenditure of time and labour upon it.”—_Spectator._

FOLK-LORE AS AN HISTORICAL SCIENCE

By GEORGE LAURENCE GOMME. Clerk to the London County Council

With 28 Illustrations

“No one will read Mr. Gomme’s thoughtful treatise without being the better able to understand the significance of popular tales and customs.”—_Scotsman._

“A learned and most interesting volume. We can imagine no more fascinating subject for study.”—_Daily Mail._

“An excellent piece of work.”—_Dundee Advertiser._

“All will find much that stimulates thought and adds to the inherent attractiveness of tradition.”—_Athenæum._

ENGLISH COSTUME

By GEORGE CLINCH, F.G.S.

With many Illustrations

In this important work an attempt is made to trace the origin and development of all the chief phases of English Costume from prehistoric times down to the end of the eighteenth century. Illuminated MSS., sepulchral effigies, monumental brasses, ancient statuary, mediæval wills, inventories, and the contents of the chief museums, are the authorities upon which the author has relied in his attempts to get at the actual facts about this interesting subject. The result is a volume containing a large amount of original and valuable information. The book is primarily intended for the use of the antiquary and the artist, but the accurate and precise information which it gives, and the abundant illustrations and diagrams with which the text is interspersed, can hardly fail to make “English Costume” a valuable hand-book for the promoters of historical pageants and theatrical representations.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES

Original printed spelling and grammar are retained, with a few exceptions noted below. Illustrations have been moved from their original locations to nearby places between paragraphs. Footnotes have been renumbered 1–479, and changed to endnotes. Original italics _look like this_. Original small caps are all capitals. Text originally printed in boldface are all capitals in this simple text format edition.

The original LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS and LIST OF PLATES were formatted in loose tabular form. These have been converted to list form, with ellipses suggesting the original columns. The word “ditto” was replaced by repeated text.

Ditto marks were used extensively in the original Appendix B, and in the Bibliography. The original intended scope of these marks is often questionable, and would be even more so if they were to be retained in an ebook. Therefore, ditto marks are replaced with repeated text. Likewise, large curly brackets “{” meant to show grouping of text on multiple lines have been eliminated. In a few places, e.g. page 298, the glyphs “┌” and “└” were employed to indicate multiple-line grouping in lieu of large brackets.

A few of the tables of Appendix B were printed without column headings because the headings could be inferred from another table printed on the same page. Herein, each table has been provided with column headings. Tables that were continued from one page to another are herein combined. The Bibliography was printed in tabular form, but is herein converted to list format, with ellipses indicating the original columns.

The original printed index employed white space at the beginning of a line to indicate distinct subtopics under a topic heading; for instance subtopics St. Chad, St. George, and St. Giles, under heading Shrewsbury. In this edition, em dashes have been substituted for the initial spaces. The original index already employed em dashes to indicate repetition of a first word in several distinct topics. For instance, topics “Hugh, St., — Foliot, — Garth, — D’Orivalle, and — Pudsey”. These em dashes have been retained.

Page 154. Removed unmatched double quotation mark from the end of the first paragraph.

Page 168. Added right double quotation mark to the phrase ‘who for a time “ate nothing that had suffered death’.

Page 236. There is a glyph that has no unicode point. Herein, “[~c]” designates a latin small letter c with tilde above.
