“Of each Cathedral an admirable historical sketch is given, detailing its architectural growth, and the volumes make admirable handbooks for those who wish to study our English Cathedrals intelligently.”—Literary World.
“Mr. Bumpus’ book is a valuable guide in the case of these buildings, not only describing them very fully, but also pointing out what parts of them are original and what new. Mr. Laurie is to be heartily congratulated on this series, which is illustrated by numerous plates from good photographs.”—Athenæum.
“Mr. Bumpus’ style has a refreshing air of the enthusiastic ecclesiologist, and of that ‘Domine, dilexi decorum domus Tuæ,’ which is ill replaced by the cold professionalism of the mere expert.”—Saturday Review.
“The description of St. Paul’s, surrounded by the City church steeples, is a magnificent tribute to Wren.”—Yorkshire Post.
