The Monumental Brasses of Lancashire and Cheshire.

By JAMES L. THORNELY.
“Mr. Thornely’s book will be eagerly sought by all lovers of monumental brasses.”—London Quarterly Review.
“Local archæologists will give a hearty welcome to this book.”—Manchester Guardian.
“Mr. Thornely has produced a very interesting volume, as he has not only figured every monumental brass within the two counties to which he has confined his researches, but in every case he has given a description also, and in some instances the genealogical information is of a high order of value.”—The Tablet.
“The book is wonderfully readable for its kind, and is evidently the result of careful and painstaking labour. The chapters are well condensed, nowhere burdened with verbiage, yet sufficiently full to serve the purpose in view. The illustrations of the various brasses are exceedingly well done, and add much value and interest to the work, which should become popular in Lancashire and Cheshire.”—Warrington Guardian.
