SOME ACCOUNT of DOMES- 

 TIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, 

 from the Con quest to the end of the) hirtcenth 

 Centmy, witli numerous Illustrations of Ex- 

 isting Remains from Original Drawings. By 

 T. HUDSON TURNER. 



_" What Horace Walpole attempted, and what 

 Sir Charles Loek Eostlake has done for oil- 

 painting — elucidated its history and traced its 

 progress in England by mtans of the records 

 of expenses oud mandates of the successive 

 SoTercigns of the realm — Mr. Hudson Turner 

 has now achieved for Domestic Architecture in 

 this country during the twelfth and tldrtcenth 

 centuries." — Architect. 



"The writer of the present volume ranks 

 among the most intelligent of the craft, and 

 a careful perusal of its contents will convince 

 the reader of the enormous amount of labour 

 bestowed on its minutest details, as well as the 

 discriminating judgment presiding over the 

 general arrangement."— iUoraiVif/ Chromcle. 

 _ " The book of which the title is given above 

 js one of the very few attempts that have been 

 made in this countrj' to treat this interesting 

 BUbject in anything more than a superficial 

 manner. 



"Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and 

 research, and he has consequently laid before 

 the reader much interesting information. It 

 is a book that was wanted, and that aftbrds us 

 some relief from the mass of works on Eccle- 

 siastical Architecture with which of late years 

 we have been deluged. 



" The work is well illustrated throughout 

 with wood-engravings of the more interesting 

 remains, and will prove a valuable addition to 

 the antiquary's library." — Literary Gazette. 



" It is as a text-book on the social comforts 

 and condition of the Squires and Gentry of 

 England during the twelfth and thirteenth cen- 

 turies, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's 

 present publication will be found to consist. 



'Turner's handsomely-printed volume is 

 profusely illustrated with careful woodcuts of 

 all important existing remains, made from 

 <ttawmg3 by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopcny." —

A MANUAL OF ECCLESI- 

 ASTICAL HISTORY, from the First to 

 the Twelfth Century inclusive. Bv the Rev. 

 E. S. FOULKES, M.A., FeUow and Tutor of 

 Jesus College, Oxford. 



The main plan of the work has been bor- 

 rowed from Spanheim, a learned, though cer- 

 tamly not unbiassed, writer of the seventeenth 

 century : the matter comuiled from Spondaniis 

 and Spanheim, Mosheim and Fleury, Gleseler 

 and Dellinger, and others, who have been used 

 too often to be specified, unless when reference 

 to them appeared desirable for the benefit of 

 the reader. Yet I believe I have never once 

 trusted to them on a point involving contro- 

 versy, without examining their authorities. 

 The one object that I have had liefore me has 

 been to condense facts, without either garbling 

 or omitting any that should be noticed in a 

 jrork like the present, and to give a fair and 



impartial view of the whole state of the case 



Freface. 



" An epitomist of Church History has a task 

 of no ordinary greatness. ... He must combine 

 the rich faculties of condensation and analysis, 

 Of judgment in the selection of materials, and 

 calmness in the expression of opinions, with 

 that most excellent gift of faith, so especially 

 precious to Church historians, which implies 

 a love for the Catholic cause, a reverence for 

 its saintly champions, an abhorrence of the 

 misdeeds which have defiled it, and a confl- 

 •aence that its ' truth is great, and will pre- 

 vail.' 



_ " And among other qualifications which may 

 justly be attributed to tlie author of the work 

 before us. this last and highest is particularly 

 observable. He writes in a spirit of manly 

 taith, and is not afraid of facing ' the horrora 

 and uncertainties,' which, to use his own 

 words, are to be found in Church historj'."— 

 From the Scottish EccUsiastical Journal, May, 

 1852. '

THE CALENDAR OF THE 

 ANGLICAN CHURCH; illustrated 

 with Brief Accounts of the Saints who have 

 Churches dedicated in their Names, or whose 

 Images are most frequently met with in Eng- 

 land ; also the Early Christian and MediiEval 

 Symbols, and an Index of Emblems. 



" It is perhaps hardly necessary to obsei-ve, 

 that this work is of an Archteological, and not 

 a Theoloaical eliaracter. The Editor has not 

 considered it his business to examine into the 

 truth or falsehood of the legends of which he 

 narrates the substance ; he gives them merely 

 as legends, and, in general, so mticb of them 

 only as is necessary to explain why particular 

 emblems were used with a particular Saint, or 

 why Churches in a given locality are named 

 after this or that Saint." — I'r(Jace. 



" The latter part of the book, on the early 

 Christian and mediseval symbols, and on eccle- 

 siastical emblems, is of great historical and 

 architectural value. A copious Index of em- 

 blems is added, as well as a general Index to 

 the volume with its numerous illustrations. 

 The work is an important contrilmtion to 

 English Archaeology, especially in the depart- 

 ment of ecclesiastical iconography."— i»«erarj/

SYMPATHIES of the CONTI- 



O NENT, or PROPOSALS for a NEW 

 REFORMATION. By JOHN BAPTIST 

 VON HIRSCHER, D.D., Dean of the Metro- 

 politan Church of Freiburg, Breisgau, and Pro- 

 fessor of Theology in the Roman Catholic Uni- 

 versity of that City. Translated and edited 

 with Notes and Introduction by the Rev. 

 ARTHUR CLEVELAND COXE, M. A., 

 Rector of St. John's Church, Hartford, Con- 

 necticut, U.S. 



" The following work will be found a noble 

 apology for the position assumed by the Church 

 of England in the sixteenth century, and for the 

 practical reforms she then introduced into her 

 theology and worship. If the author is right, 

 tlien the changes he so eloquently urges upon 

 the present attention of his brethren ought 

 to have been made three hundred mars ago ; 

 and the obstinate refusal of the Council of 

 Trent to make such reforms in conformity 

 with Scripture and Antiquity, throws the 

 whole burthen of the sin of schism upon Rome, 

 and not upon our Reformers. The value of 

 such admissions must, of course, depend in a 

 great measure upon the learning, the character, 

 the position, and the influence of the author 

 from whom they proceed. The writer believes, 

 that questions as to these particulars can be 

 most satisfactorily answered." — Introduction 

 by Arthur Cleveland Coxe.

THE PRACTICAL WORKING 

 of THE CHURCH OF SPAIN. By the 

 Rev. FREDERICK MEYRICK, M.A., Fel- 

 low of Trinity College, Oxford. 



" Pleasant meadows, happy peasants, all holy 

 monks, all holy priests, holy every body. Such 

 charity and such unitj^, when every man was 

 a Catholic. I once believed in this Utopia my- 

 self, but when tested by stem facts, it all melts 

 away like dream." — A. Welby Pugin. 



" The revelations made by such writers as 

 Mr. Meyrick in Spain and Mr. Gladstone in 

 Italy, have at least vindicated for the Church 

 of England a providential and morally defined 

 position, mission, and purpose in the Catholic 

 Church." — Morning Chronicle. 



" Two valuable works ... to the truthful- 

 ness of wliich we are glad to add our own testi- 

 mony : one, and the most important, is Mr. 

 Meyrick's ' Practical Working of the Church 

 of Spain.' This is the experience — and it is 

 the experience of every Spanish traveller— of a 

 thoughtful person, as to the lamentable results 

 of unchecked Romanism. Here is the solid 

 substantial fact. Spain is divided between 

 ultra-infidelity and what is so closely akin to 

 actual idolatry, that it can only be controver- 

 sially, not practically, distinguished from it : 

 and over all hangs a lurid cloud of systematic 

 immorality, simply frightful to contemplate. 

 We can offer a direct, and even personal, testi- 

 mony to all that Mr. Meyrick has to say." — 

 Christian liemembrancer. 



" I wish to recommend it strongly."— T. K. 

 Arnold's Theological Critic. 



" Many passing travellers have thrown more 

 or less light upon the state of Romanism 

 and Christianity in Spain, according to their 

 objects and opportunities ; but we suspect these 

 'workings' are the fullest, the most natural, 

 and the most trustworthy, of anything that 

 has appeared upon the subject since the time 

 of Blanco White's Confessions." — Spectator. 



" This honest exposition of the practical 

 working of Romanism in Spain, of its every- 

 day effects, not its canons and theories.deserves 

 the careful study of all, who, unable to test the 

 question abroad, are dazzled by the distant 

 mirage with which the Vatican mocks many a 

 yearning soul that thirsts after water-brooks 

 pure and full."— Literary Gazette.
