[Illustration: HILLS & SON PRINTERS ELY] TO +The Rev. the Dean and Chapter of Ely,+ WHOSE UNREMITTING EXERTIONS TO PROMOTE THE RESTORATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THEIR CATHEDRAL CHURCH MERIT THE GRATITUDE OF EVERY LOVER OF ART, AND THE SUPPORT OF THE COUNTRY AT LARGE: THIS ELEVENTH EDITION OF "_A HAND-BOOK TO THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH_," IS MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, BY THEIR OBLIGED SERVANT, _THE COMPILER_. [Illustration: ST. ETHELDREDA.] +Advertisement+ TO THE ELEVENTH EDITION. When this Work first appeared as a candidate for public favour in 1852, the Compiler had but faint hopes of its ever attaining a position of usefulness which the sale of the several editions has proved it to have done. His constant aim has been to render it a faithful as well as a convenient and useful companion to strangers and others when examining this interesting Cathedral; and, in order to render each succeeding edition more complete, his study has been to give from time to time the best information in his power upon the improvements which have for many years been in progress. He tenders his best thanks for the kindness of many friends who have afforded him information, and has availed himself of the important remarks of the late Sir G.G. Scott at the Etheldreda Festival in 1873, and of the valuable work of Mr. Stewart to correct as well as to verify and support his own statements, for which his grateful acknowledgments are due. The whole has been revised, and some additions have been made, which he is induced to hope will enhance its value, and render it more worthy of public favor. _April, 1880._ +Advertisement+ TO THE FIRST EDITION. This Hand-book is intended simply as a "guide" for those who visit Ely for the purpose of seeing the Cathedral, the remains of the ancient Monastery, and other objects of similar interest. The Compiler acknowledges himself greatly indebted for much valuable information to the elaborate works of Mr. Bentham and Mr. Millers; and, although he is conscious that his task has been performed but imperfectly, he still ventures to hope that, in the absence of the larger works above referred to, his little compilation will prove both interesting and useful. _May, 1852._ [Illustration] CONTENTS.
