Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last Abbot of Glastonbury and Other Essays A few words only seem necessary to introduce this volume of Essays to the public. The papers contained in a former volume of Essays were gathered together and published some ten years ago; and this edition having been now for some time out of print, I was urged to issue it in a cheaper form. Whilst this matter was under consideration, it was further suggested to me that while republishing the first series, I might add a second volume of collected papers, articles, etc., which have appeared since the publication of the first volume. In regard to the Essays here presented in this second collection, it may be well to make the following remarks. The first item: The Last Abbot of Glastonbury, was published in 1895 as a small book for a special occasion. It gathers together memorials of the destruction of the great Benedictine abbeys of Glastonbury, Reading, and Colchester, and gives a brief sketch of the tragic deaths of the last abbots of those houses in the reign of Henry VIII. This volume has been for some years out of print; and as it is not too long to reprint as an essay, I have thought it better to include it in this present volume than to re-issue it separately. Of the other papers, that on St. Gregory and England was written on the occasion of the thirteenth centenary of the death of that Pope some four years ago.
