Excerpt from Winkles's Architectural and Picturesque Illustrations of the Cathedral of England and Wales, Vol. 2: The Drawings Made From Sketches Taken Expressly Fro This Work
For the difference observable in the historical and descriptive accounts of the Cathedrals in the first and second volume of this work, the reader may perhaps desire some explanation. They are the production of two different editors. The editor of the first volume having declined at the close of it to proceed, another was sought, and obtained, who consented to undertake the task, without any remuneration, except the task itself. Which has been the means of his passing a solitary hour or two of many evenings in the most agreeable manner. The editor of the present volume however was not con strained to pursue the same course as his predecessor, either in respect of the information or in its arrangement, and it is in these particulars that the difference will be found chiefly to reside. If the information contained in the present volume be not so full in some particulars as in the former, it is extended over a wider field, comprising topics not touched upon by the first editor, and which will be highly interesting to some, and more especially to the clerical reader. The arrangement is the same in every case, and has been laid down with a view to give the clearest idea possible of the subject in hand.
