[The woodcuts of this work deserve especial commendation, being
accurate representations of objects of historical interest, instead of
the imaginative illustrations too often introduced into works which

Church, Munster_, are, we have understood, copied from original
sketches placed at Mr. Murray's disposal for the purpose of being used
in the work in question.]
