_Radulfi de Diceto, Decani, Lundoniensis Opera Historica_ (vols. i. and ii., edited for the Master of the Rolls by the Bishop of Oxford). I have to thank the Dean for permission to consult the Chapter copy of the _Registrum Statutorum_, edited for private circulation (1873) by that enthusiastic and accurate St. Paul's scholar, the late Dr. Sparrow-Simpson, one of the last of the Minor Canons on the old foundation, Librarian and Sub-dean. There is a supplement (1897). Dr. Sparrow-Simpson also wrote or edited the following-- _Documents Illustrating the History of St. Paul's Cathedral_ (Camden Society, 1880). _Chapters in the History of Old St. Paul's_ (1881). _Visitation of Churches_ (Camden Society, 1885). _Gleanings from Old St. Paul's_ (1889). _St. Paul's and Old City Life_ (1894). His remaining work, the Catalogue of the Library, I have not consulted. _Annals of St. Paul's_, by Dean Milman (1868). The learned and talented historian did not live to see this his last work through the press. In consequence there are printer's errors as to dates, &c., which I have not thought it necessary to point out. _Domesday of St. Paul's_, by Archdeacon Hale (Camden Society, 1858). _The Three Cathedrals dedicated to St. Paul_, by William Longman (Longmans, 1873). Amongst other sources of information are the lectures delivered in St. Paul's by Bishop Browne when a residentiary, and published by the S.P.C.K. The value of these to the students of early Church History is in an inverse ratio to their size. The origin of our secular colleges yet remains to be written; but I am again indebted to Mr. Arthur Francis Leach for the Introduction to the _Visitations of Southwell_ (Camden Society, 1891), for valuable information on this subject. In regard to the efforts to complete Wren's designs by mosaic decorations, I have carefully observed all that has been done, and have attentively followed much that has been said and written. In particular I have been interested by a statement that has gone the round of the press. Certain young ladies and gentlemen of the Slade School of Art and elsewhere are reported to have protested that even good and appropriate decoration would be contrary to the wishes of Sir Christopher Wren.
