Excerpt from An Historical and Architectural Essay on Redcliffe Church, Bristol
Since Bentham wrote his History of Ely Cathedral, ad. 1771, in which he endeavoured to prove, that the remains of the Conventual Church in that city are of Saxon architecture, founded in many volumes and essays have been published concerning the criteria of Saxon and Norman architecture, the origin of the pointed arch, and the country in which this was first adopted. Warton, Gray, Grose, Milner, Whitaker, Hall, Whittington, Millers, Sayers, Dallawsy, Hawkins, Carter, Englcfield, Lysons, Kerrich, Wilkins, Dutchs, King, Haggitt, and others, have all employed their pens, either in this controversy. Or on the subject; and to some of these gentlemen we are indebted for much substantial information.
