"A fund of quaint and pleasing information."--_Chester Courant._ "Mr. Andrews and his coadjutors have provided a work which will give unqualified pleasure to the reader of the day, and which will prove engrossing to every searcher after the ancient and the curious in ecclesiastical history or structure."--_Dundee Advertiser._ "The learned editor of this work has in several volumes proved his extensive acquaintance with early records of the English Church, and of the marks she bears of pre-Reformation times. He was, therefore, well fitted for the task of preparing this collection of papers dealing with 'the byways and highways' of Church History in this country, and the result is a volume that will give pleasure to many besides ecclesiastical antiquarians.... The writers of the various chapters show ample knowledge of the subjects they treat of, and considerable literary powers."--_Liverpool Mercury._ "An exceedingly interesting miscellany, and will be read with the greater enjoyment that all the contributors have been at pains to banish pedantry from their articles, and to write them in a light and gossiping style."--_Glasgow Herald._ "Valuable and interesting."--_The Times._ "Readable as well as instructive."--_The Globe._ "A valuable addition to any library."--_Derbyshire Times._ The Bygone Series.
