This volume is intended as a short popular history on the Sepulchral
Cross-Slabs of the early centuries, for the use of both students and
general readers.
“Really a work of art. The slabs selected by the author for her
well-drawn illustrations number about seventy. In the introductory
chapters a good deal of information is given which will help visitors to
churches where these monuments of piety have escaped the spoilers’ hands
to fix approximately the dates of the slab. We almost believe that some
of the parish priests, who at present are not much inclined to value
such treasures, may be led to take more care of them if they will learn
from Miss Styan what there is to admire in them.”—_Church Times._

“Miss Noble has followed up her admirable edition of the “Bampton Parish
Registers” by copying and publishing the Registers of the adjoining
parish of Askham, which go back to the year 1566. She has discharged her
self-imposed task with her accustomed care and ability, and the
handsomely printed and substantially bound volume of 250 pages is not
merely a record of marryings, buryings, and christenings in this ancient
parish ... but a valuable contribution to the history of the border
land.”—_The Carlisle Patriot._

Inn,” “Antwerp, Past and Present,” “Porta Nigra, the Treasure of
Treves,” &c. Second Edition. =With numerous additions and
Illustrations.= Size 9 in. by 6 in., cloth, price =5/-=.
“Mr. Worsfold has compressed into a small space a great amount of
interesting detail with regard not only to the megalithic and other
stone monuments, but also to the Roman and early Mediæval remains in the
district he has sought to illustrate. His style is easy and attractive,
and his little work may induce visitors to France, who are interested in
objects of remote antiquity, to take the opportunity of seeing a part of
the country which abounds with them.”—_Athenæum._
