3^1883 THE RUINED ABBEYS OF YORKSHIRE BY W. CHAMBERS LEFROY WITH ETCHINGS AND VIGNETTESBY A. BRUNET-DEBAINES AND H. TOUSSAINT SEELEY, JACKSON, AND HALLIDAY, 54 FLEET STREET LONDON. MDCCCLXXXIII TO HEYWOOD SUMNER, THIS SKETCHIS INAPPROPRIATELY, BUT AFFECTIONATELY, INSCRIBED. PREFACE. THE history of monasticism planned by Southey yet remains to be written.To that much-needed work Northumbria will supply a long and mostimportant chapter, which I am far from claiming to have anticipated. These chapters first appeared in an artistic periodical, and for such a purposemonasticism is to its buildings somewhat as the cultus of the Virgin to Florentine art.We cannot get from this glorious group of ruins the best and deepest enjoyment, orreveal to others the secret of their charm, without a certain familiarity, and at leastan imaginative sympathy with the spirit which wrought in and still lingers near them.The architect, the antiquary, the artist, are not or should not be distinct; and hewho hasruinedabbeysofyo00lefr_0
