Excerpt from Pulpits, Lecterns, and Organs in English Churches: With 155 Illustrations Although the name of the writer of the letterpress of this book is the only one that appears on the title-page and cover, he is by no means sure that the name of Mr Francis Bond, the General Editor of the series, ought not to have been bracketed with it, as to him these pages are indebted for all the labour and scholarly insight involved in the selection an...

Changing Behaviour at Work" is a lively book that illustrates how behavior analysis theory can be used to alter how people behave at work. Showing how managers can identify, measure, and analyze undesirable behavior, the book takes a highly practical look at management strategies. The authors use real life case study examples to show how managers can implement effective strategies of change, with examples ranging from behavioral self-managemen...

Excerpt from Hampshire This little book is an attempt to deal concisely with the most interesting facts about the natural features, history, archæology and architecture of Hampshire. It might, perchance, have been better if the writing of these pages had fallen to the lot of a native of the county, but, possibly, a frequent visitor is in a better position to form unprejudiced opinions. At all events I yield to no resident in my general admir...

Excerpt from Cumberland and Westmorland The object of the series of "County Churches, " to which this little volume belongs, is to produce in a handy and condensed form an accurate outline account of the old parish churches of England, in the hope that they may serve as a help to church-loving visitors, and also prove of some trifling service to resident churchmen. Failing to find any resident archæologist willing to write a small church-gui...

Excerpt from Canterbury: A Historical and Topographical Account of the City In 1884, the year after his translation from Truro to Canterbury, I was asked by Dr. Edward White Benson to write a short history of the City of Canterbury, as the Archbishop was not able to lay his hands on any one book that gave the information that many desired to have. Such a request I regarded almost as a command, more especially as Dr. Benson had rendered me muc...

Excerpt from Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire, Vol. 4 This fourth volume, which concludes the work, contains an account of all the old Churches and Chapels within the Hundred of Morleston and Litchurch, and also a good deal of supplementary matter relative to the Churches treated of in the previous volumes, especially in the first and second. Yielding to the advice of several, whose judgment was of much value, I have supplied lists of the ...

Excerpt from Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire, Vol. 3: The Hundreds of Appletree and Repton and Gresley, Illustrated With Heliotypes From Photographs by R. Keene, and Numerous Other PlatesAny general remarks on the history or architecture of the churches herein treated, it will be better to reserve until those of the whole county have been described, and I will content myself with remarking, in respect of the bountiful provision of the Chur...

Excerpt from The English Parish Church: An Account of the Chief Building Types of Their Materials During Nine Centuries It seems necessary to write a few words as to the aim and object of this book. It is an endeavour, however imperfectly accomplished, to put into plain language the origin, development, and aims of the old English Parish Church, more especially in the country districts. Notwithstanding the wear of time, the ravages of civil w...

Excerpt from Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire, Vol. 2I am not aware that this singularity of the Basque grave~ stones has ever yet been mentioned. The archaeology of that district may be said to be totally unwritten, and, when it is accomplished, it is not improbable that a ray of additional light will be thrown on the origin of that mysterious nationality, as well as on the real source from which the various continental tribes sprang, that...

Excerpt from How to Write the History of a Parish: An Outline Guide to Topographical, Records, Manuscripts, and Books Some of the clergy of the diocese of Lincoln are responsible for the issue of this booklet. A much-needed county history of Lincolnshire is now being projected, upon the basis of separate parochial histories. A circular put forth in one of the rural deaneries was good enough to refer in laudatory terms to the introduction to t...

Excerpt from Nottinghamshire The object of the series of "County Churches, " to which this little volume belongs, is to produce in a handy and condensed form an accurate outline account of the old parish churches of England, in the hope that they may serve as a help to church-loving visitors, and also prove of some trifling service to resident churchmen. So far as Nottinghamshire is concerned, I can fairly claim to have known the county well...

Excerpt from English Church Furniture At first it was proposed to confine these accounts and lists to pre-reformation days, but it was eventually decided to give a certain amount of general information down to the end of the seventeenth century. The original intention was to include descriptions of such matters as painted glass, wall paintings, floor tiles, and ironwork, but the plan became perforce more restricted for lack of space. It is p...

Excerpt from Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire, Vol. 1This necessitated a far more careful treatment of the subject than had been originally bestowed, and my endeavours to exhaust all reliable sources of information, and to substantiate every statement, have involved a much greater expenditure of time and trouble than was anticipated. This must be my excuse for the delay which has occurred in the production of this volume, an excuse which wi...

Excerpt from The Parish Registers of England Meanwhile, I kept steadily before my mind the hope of producing a book which, whilst based upon the labours of my predecessors, Burn and Waters, should strike out a wider line of its own, and aim at a better arrangement and at a fuller explanation of unusual points. At last, after many interruptions, literary and otherwise, the idea has matured, and these pages are put forth with a fair amount of h...

Excerpt from The Sanctuaries: And Sanctuary Seekers of Mediæval England MY interest was first aroused in the question of sanctuary rights in mediaeval England by inquiries that were made of me by the late Mr. Mazzinghi, Librarian of the William Salt Library, Stafford, in 1886 - 87. I had at that time the pleasure of the friendship of that gentleman, as I was a member of the editorial committee of the Salt Archaeological Society. Mr. Mazzinghi...
