MEMORIALS AND MONUMENTS OLD AND NEW r 

 Two hundred subjects chosen from seven centuries. 



By LAWRENCE WEAVER, F.S.A. With Collotype Repro- 

 ductions of 180 Photographs and 80 other illustrations. 

 Quarter bound, 15s. 8d. net ; by post, i6s. 6d. 

 In this book the whole art of memorial design is for the 

 first time examined in all its aspects — historical, critical and 

 practical. Most of the monuments of recent years, and 

 notably those which followed the South African War, reveal 

 a lamentable poverty of design, and the chief aim of the book 

 is to establish a better standard. To this end the develop- 

 ment of memorial design in England since the Middle Ages 

 is clearly set out, and all possible treatments of modem 

 memorials are discussed, with an exceeding wealth of illus- 

 tration. To all who contemplate setting up a memorial, 

 whether it be a small tablet to an individual or a monument 

 to a great body of men, this book offers essential guidance. 



Morning Post. — "This beautifully printed and well-illustrated volume 

 is at once a history and a plea — a history of memorials and monuments 

 drawn from seven centuries, and a plea for better workmanship and finer 

 taste than are generally shown in the stone and brasses set up in our 

 churches and other public places. Its arrival is opportune. It will not 

 be the author's fault if the lapidary sequel of the great War is not better 

 than that of the South African Campaign. If architects and sculptors 

 will work together there is hope of better things, and here to hand in this 

 volume is description and illustration of 200 subjects, chosen from ex- 

 amples of the last 700 years, which they may study to the end of learning 

 the rules in proportion, in the use of materials, the spacing of lettering, 

 and the hke. . . We agree with Mr. Weaver that our English ideas of 

 what is correct in memorials should be revised." 



The Times. — "To guide and help those who need guidance m these 

 matters." . , ^ 



The Athenceum.—" Many will be grateful for these tunely and suggestive 

 pages . . thoroughly well informed on the historical side of the ques- 

 tion . . . most cathoUc and soundly artistic in appreciation of certain 

 exceptionally good work of the twentieth century."
