WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY KIRSOPP LAKE

_It was simply a struggle for fresh air, in which, if the windows
could not be opened, there was danger that panes would be broken,
though painted with images of saints and martyrs. Light, coloured
by these reverend effigies, was none the more respirable for being
picturesque._
