Spectator: “Mr. Sherrill has written a book which not only proves him to be a true lover of mediæval glass, but proves also his enlightened comprehension of its evolution and its changing style.... A pleasant and entertaining instructor.”

Sunday Times: “The illustrations are delightful, and successfully capture the blended notes of opulence and beauty which the mediæval designers threw into their work.”

Daily Telegraph: “Mr. Sherrill leads his fellow-travellers by delightful paths.... He is a model guide, and all his illustrations are to the point. It is difficult to imagine how any instructor could pack more fruitful information into a smaller or more attractive parcel.”

Morning Post: “Is well written, and in a style which shows that the author really feels the attraction of the art he describes.”

Daily Chronicle: “A distinct triumph to write a book of 250 pages on a restricted though very beautiful subject, and never become monotonous; this is the triumph Mr. Sherrill has achieved. A really delightful volume.”

Literary World: “All who care for beautiful handiwork, and all interested visitors to our old cathedrals, colleges, and churches, should possess themselves of this charming book.... The illustrations are extremely good.”

IN FRANCE

With Illustrations

By C. H. SHERRILL

Crown 8vo. 6s. net

The Builder: “A very well-written book, with a very good æsthetic perception as to what is best and most to be admired in ancient stained glass.”

The Antiquary: “A well-qualified guide for all who can appreciate the loveliness of the old glass in which France is still so rich.”

Roger Fry in The Burlington Magazine: “He has really looked, and looked lovingly, at the windows he describes. His knowledge is evidently adequate, and he rearranges it in a form which he who automobiles may read.”

Westminster Gazette: “Useful and interesting. Mr. Sherrill gives just enough information to enable the lay reader to understand the difficulties with which the artist in coloured glass had to contend. Moreover, he has the eloquence of a true enthusiast, and is able to communicate to others his own delight.”

Pall Mall Gazette: “Exceedingly useful. A work showing much industry, enthusiasm, and good taste, it is a really valuable supplementary volume to one’s Murray or Baedeker. The author has excellent taste.”

Morning Post: “Mr. Sherrill does feel very sincerely the beauty of stained glass, and is able to communicate his feeling in writing. Mr. Sherrill pilots us on a pleasant cruise among some of the greatest of the French examples of the style.”

British Architect: “The writer manages to say a good many interesting things. Mr. Sherrill’s book is written in a most interesting style.”

Architectural Review: “A useful book. Mr. Sherrill has an acute appreciation of the important relationship between the glass and the surrounding architecture, and he has brought the fresh mind of the amateur to his subject.”
