Excerpt from The Cathedral: Or the Catholic and Apostolic Church in England

The idea upon which this publication has Been composed is, it is hoped, perfectly in accordance with the spirit and principles of the Ancient Church: nor is it entirely new to our own. Hints of the kind may be gained from Herbert's "Temple, " where he attaches moral and sacred Lessons to the "Church windows" and "Church floor." And it has been suggested by the Author of "The Excursion, " in his Preface to that work, that his Poems might be considered as capable of being arranged as the parts of a Gothic Church, of which the minor Pieces might be "likened to the little cells, oratories, and sepulchral recesses."
