Description:The MSS. relating to St. Paul’s are deficient in regard to the earlier periods, but become gradually more complete as time progresses. They have been published or quoted, probably, more extensively than those belonging to any other religious foundation in this country, unless it be such communities as St. Alban’s, which have attracted the continued attention of the editors working under the Master of the Rolls. In consequence, although our knowledge, not only of the Romano-British period but of many succeeding centuries, is defective or altogether wanting, yet as time advances after the Norman Conquest the merely printed material at our disposal becomes gradually almost embarrassing. When we come to the present Cathedral, we know not only exactly when it was built, but to a great extent how and why. In the Parentalia Wren’s grandson, Stephen, partly in his own words, partly in those of his famous grandfather, lifting the curtain, discloses the personal history and inner self of the architect at his work. Among the leading authorities are the following, giving the place of honour to the— Parentalia or Memoirs. Completed by his [Sir Christopher’s] son, Christopher. Now published by his grandson, Stephen Wren, Esq. (London, 1858We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
