These Volumes of separate Voice Parts are ornamentally printed in Foolscap Octavo, uniform in size with some of the most approved editions of the Common Prayer, Church Services, &c.

The Psalter, with the Tunes set for the separate Voice Parts, each in

a Volume, as above. Price, bound in Coloured Sheep, 2s.; in Embossed Roan, Gilt edges, 2s. 6d., per Volume.

In the same size as the Nonpareil Twenty-fours Editions of the Prayer Book, and adapted by its cheapness to general use, and gratuitous distribution.

* In ordering the Psalter, whether in Score, or in Separate Voice Parts, it will be found convenient to describe the Edition, as well as the Binding required, in the words used in this List.

In these Editions of the Psalter, each, or one or more portions of each of the Psalms, is set to an appropriate Tune; and every word of cach verse is placed under the note to which it is to be sung. The work, therefore, forms a complete Psalm Book for those who do not, as well as for those who do join in congregational singing.

Each Volume contains Three Hundred and Fifty Pages of Music, besides the Indices and Tables, and every Volume, whether of the Score, or of the Separate Voice Parts, being printed page for page, the most perfect uniformity extends throughout the whole Series.

The

Ecclesiastical Architecture of Great Britain,

From the Conquest to the Reformation.

By

HENRY BOWMAN, Architect, and JAMES HADFIELD, Architect.

www

ILLUSTRATED BY VIEWS, PLANS, ELEVATIONS, SECTIONS, AND DETAILS OF THE VENERABLE RELICS OF ANTIQUITY WITH WHICH

THIS COUNTRY SO RICHLY ABOUNDS;

WITH

HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNTS OF THE RISE, PROGRESS, AND DEVELOPEMENT OF THE SEVERAL STYLES OF ARCHITECTURE.

NOTWITHSTANDING that many Works illustrative of the Architecture of

the Middle Ages have been published within the last few years, it is undeniable that one is still wanted, which would present a well-selected series of authentic and genuine examples from the remains of that architectural exuberance which existed in this country during the four centuries following the Conquest.

Though these venerable remains are abundant in many parts of this country, they cannot be studied on the spot to any extent but at a great expense, and by few individuals; and it becomes therefore a matter of extreme importance to all who desire a revival of genuine and worthy Church Architecture, to be enabled, through the medium of descriptions and illustrations, to study these ancient remains at a trifling cost.

The design of the present Work is to furnish at a cheap rate illustrations of the best specimens of the Ecclesiastical Remains in this country, confining the selection to such as may be excellent in design, adapted to modern practice, and not too elaborate or expensive in execution.

The specimens will for the most part consist of Country Churches, which are those best suited for imitation, and most adapted to the wants of the present age, but most of which are comparatively little known: the examples hitherto chosen for publication being chiefly those which are either remarkable for their splendour, and therefore not of much practical value, or interesting from their great antiquity, and for that very reason frequently possessing little or nothing suited for imitation; belonging, as they generally did, to an age and state of society widely different from our own.

Among the subjects given will be some of great excellence, which have very recently suffered destruction, but of which drawings were made while they were in existence. Also, such specimens of ancient Stained Glass and Church Furniture as may, in the opinion of the Authors, be of sufficient excellence.

The Work will be published in Numbers, from one to three of which will be devoted to each church. A condensed History of the different Styles of Christian Architecture will be added, together with a copious Index, in which the examples given will be arranged both alphabetically and chronologically.

It is intended to bring out one Number at least every month, and as the Authors have already accumulated a great quantity of sketches and measurements from twenty-seven of the English counties, they will be enabled to do this with perfect regularity.
