“Dr. Mackinnon has produced a superlatively good book, marred only by an occasional looseness of style that detracts from the dignity of an important work.”

“In this volume, the chronological as opposed to the class division has been adopted, with the advantage of bringing its subject into a closer relation with history. The earliest brass is that of Sir John Daubernon at Stoke D’Abernon. This is dated 1277. Nineteen other examples belong to the next half-century, the latest but one being another Daubernon at the same place (1327). These are treated at length. The regular series begins with chap. 3. The Plantagenet, Lancastrian, Wars of the roses, and Tudor periods are successively dealt with. A chapter is given to the spoliation of the monasteries, ... and another to the Elizabethan revival. The illustrations are plentiful and excellent.”—Spec.
