peans of the Middle Ages lavished their
scanty wealth and toiled with devout hands
to raise the awful fabrics of the mediae-

has lain as the corner stone Of everyone
of the great and splendid churches that

In this volume the author takes up the
question of church building from every

every phase Of ecclesiastical architecture,
from the country chapel to the cathedral.

plans of cathedrals, chapels, chancels,
affairs, etc.
