Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of St. Paul´s Cathedral When I was asked to write a book about St. Paul´s which might bring its history and life before the people, I naturally hesitated; partly from the greatness of the subject and the importance of the enterprise, and partly because the ground had been so thoroughly traversed by Dean Milman in his Annals. At St. Paul´s, whenever we think of its long and wonderful career, our minds naturally turn to the luminous writings of our own historian. But Milman´s work was published in 1868, and the whole development of the modern popular life of St. Paul´s has been since that date. The book is also out of print, and the copyright has expired. Feeling that it would be impossible to give the story of the earlier centuries of St. Paul´s without taking advantage of the abundant stores set out in stately style and with masterly treatment by the historian of Latin Christianity and of the Jews, I wrote to Mr. John Murray, and asked his permission to quote from the Annals, which he very kindly granted. Those who are familiar with that admirable work will see that, to compare small things with great, Milman has been to me as Virgil to Dante. It would be absurd to suppose that my performance could by any be regarded as a rival to the accomplished historians; so I have nothing to do but to express sincerely and gratefully my unbounded obligations.
