This series of monographs has been planned to supply visitors tothegreatEnglishCathedralswithaccurateandwellillustrated guide-books at a popular price. The aim of each writer has beentoproduceaworkcompiledwithsufficientknowledgeand scholarship to be of value to the student of Archæology and History, and yet not too technical in language for the use of an ordinaryvisitorortourist. To specify all the authorities which have been made use of in each case would be difficult and tedious in this place. But amongst the general sources of information which have been almost invariably found useful are:—(1) the great county histo- ries,thevalueofwhich,especiallyinquestionsofgenealogyand local records, is generally recognised; (2) the numerous papers byexpertswhichappearfromtimetotimeintheTransactionsof the Antiquarian and Archæological Societies; (3) the important documentsmadeaccessibleintheseriesissuedbytheMasterof theRolls;(4)thewell-knownworksofBrittonandWillisonthe English Cathedrals; and (5) the very excellent series of Hand- bookstotheCathedrals,originatedbythelateMr.JohnMurray; towhichthereadermayinmostcasesbereferredforfullerdetail, especiallyinreferencetothehistoriesoftherespectivesees.
