"Its pages are not disfigured by the usual Guide-book sentimentality, rambling on without method, and mixing inaccurate if not false information with indiscriminate and nauseating praise, but it gives a well arranged and correct description, neither too popular nor too pedantic, of the Sacred Edifice." (Ecclesiologist, published by the Cambridge Camden Society.)

"A volume got up in excellent taste, and written in a right spirit; critical so far as criticism could be allowed, but always suggestive, and testing opinions by reference to principles. As if to perfect the interest of the work, its fifty-six illustrative engravings have all been executed by women; and some amateurs, Lady Callcott and Lady Palgrave, amongst others, have gracefully contributed drawings, and thus associated their names with their sister artists. The work is professedly a Guide-Book, and excellent in its way; but it is also a handsome volume for a drawing-room table, and worthy an honoured place on every lady's library shelves."—Athenaeum.
