BELL’S CATHEDRAL SERIES
_Post 8vo. Profusely Illustrated, 1s. 6d. net each_
“This excellent series of Cathedral handbooks which have
thoroughly established their reputation as guides to the
archaeological, architectural, historical, and religious
stories of our cathedrals.”--_Saturday Review._

=ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL.= An Account of the Old and New
Buildings, with a short Historical Sketch. By the Rev.
ARTHUR DIMOCK, M.A. Fourth Edition, Revised. With 38
Illustrations and a Plan.
“One of the richest volumes of Messrs. Bell’s ‘Cathedral
Series.’ The study of the fabric is painstaking, and the
details as to monuments will be found very helpful to a
visitor.... The whole history is brought down to the present
day.”--_London Quarterly Review._
“The work is cleverly compiled, and the illustrations add not
a little to its value as a souvenir to be treasured by those
who visit the cathedral, not because it is one of the sights
of London, but for the reason that they take an intelligent
and reverential interest in that great monument of Wren’s
genius.”--_City Press._
=WESTMINSTER ABBEY.= By CHARLES HIATT. Third
Edition. With 45 Illustrations and 2 Plans.
“It has been compiled with great care from the best
authorities, and is especially full on the monuments. Visitors
could not have a better guide to the most famous of English
minsters.”--_London Quarterly Review._
“This excellent work is likely to become the most popular guide
to Westminster Abbey. It supplies the need both of the student
of architecture and the visitor to London, giving a capital
_résumé_ of the history of the Abbey, with a well-written
description of the building itself. The book is profusely
illustrated.”--_Liverpool Mercury._
=ST. SAVIOUR’S, SOUTHWARK.= By GEORGE WORLEY. With
36 Illustrations and a Plan.
“Mr. Worley’s painstaking description of the cathedral is the
most complete that we have seen, and its value is increased by
many good illustrations and a plan.”--_Manchester Guardian._
“Those who wish to visit this Metropolitan Cathedral
intelligently, and with personal profit, will do well to
possess themselves with this reliable and interesting little
handbook.”--_Builder._
“An admirable example of careful work.”--_Gentleman’s Magazine._

Foundation, and a Description of the Fabric, and also of the
Church of St. Bartholomew-the-Less. By GEORGE WORLEY. With 42
Illustrations and a Plan.
“The author has made a conscientious study of the venerable
Smithfield church, and has succeeded in presenting a thoroughly
interesting account of this remarkable relic of the twelfth
century.”--_Builder’s Journal._
“Mr. Worley has treated his subject with skill, and produced a
most readable volume.”--_Church Times._
=THE TEMPLE CHURCH.= A Description of the Fabric and its Contents,
with a short History of the Order. By GEORGE WORLEY. Second
Edition, Revised. With 31 Illustrations and a Plan.
“A short and excellent account of the church of the Knights
Templars in London, prefaced by a brief history of the Order.
Nothing has been forgotten that the curious might reasonably
want to know.... To any one interested, such an excellent
handbook as this, with its lucid explanations, plans,
photographs, and technical information of the very best, is
indispensable.”--_Spectator._
