Excerpt from Westminster Abbey: A Short History and Description of the Church and Conventual Buildings With Notes on the Monuments
Accurately to state the books on which this account of Westminster Abbey is based would necessitate the inclusion in these pages of a bibliography. Needless to say, the older works, such as those of Keepe, Dart, Widmore, Gough, Ayloffe, Ackermann, Neale and Brayley, and Harding have been frequently laid under contribution. Much valuable information has been obtained from The Abbey Register, edited by Colonel Chester; from Dean Stanley's Memorials; and from Gleanings from Westminster Abbey, edited by Mr. Parker. The author has likewise made use of the more recent books of Mr. Loftie and Mr. Hare, and Miss Bradley. The Dean of Westminster has most courteously helped him in a question of detail. He is greatly indebted to the numerous learned papers of Mr. J. T. Micklethwaite; and his thanks are due to Mr. Edward Bell, who has given him the benefit of his minute study of the older monuments, and has assisted him in many other matters with valuable advice.
