PREFACE TO THE SECOND 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 many 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 manuscript ; 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 Gunnersbury. 



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.
