PREFACE TO THE SECOXI) EDITION. 



The first edition was so quickly sold out that there has 

 been a demand for a second, before I have had time to 

 make manv additions. There are, however, a few 

 alterations, the chief of them being the insertion of a part 

 of the plans of the Monastery of Canterbury from an 

 early MS. ; the correct view of Ingestre, instead of that of 

 Castle Bromwich, which was substituted by mistake in the 

 first edition ; and the addition of a view of Giinnersbury. 



I must express my thanks to all friends who have 

 kindly pointed out misprints overlooked in the first edition, 

 which I have endeavoured to rectify. I am also indebted 

 to those who have helped me to add the names of a few 

 more books to the Bibliography.
