Washington Gladden (February 11, 1836 – July 2, 1918) was a leading American Congregational pastor and early leader in the Social Gospel movement. He was a leading member of the Progressive Movement, serving for two years as a member of the Columbus, Ohio city council and campaigning against Boss Tweed as acting editor of the New York Independent. Gladden was probably the first leading U.S. religious figure to support unionization of the workforce; he also opposed racial segregation. He was a prolific writer, with 40 books to his credit, as well as a number of hymns. [more]

This Series Of Monographs Has Been Planned To Supply Visitors To The Great English Cathedrals With Accurate And Well Illustrated Guide Books At A Popular Price. The Aim Of Each Writer Has Been To Produce A Work Compiled With Sufficient Knowledge And Scholarship To Be Of Value To The Student Of Archæology And History, And Yet Not Too Technical In Language For The Use Of An Ordinary Visitor Or Tourist. To Specify All The Authorities Which Have Been Made Use Of In Each Case Would Be Difficult And Tedious In This Place. But Amongst The General Sources Of Information Which Have Been Almost Invariably Found Useful Are:--Firstly, The Great County Histories, The Value Of Which, Especially In Questions Of Genealogy And Local Records, Is Generally Recognized; Secondly, The Numerous Papers By Experts Which Appear From Time To Time In The Transactions Of The Antiquarian And Archæological Societies; Thirdly, The Important Documents Made Accessible In The Series Issued By The Master Of The Rolls; Fourthly, The Well-Known Works Of Britton And Willis On The English Cathedrals; And, Lastly, The Very Excellent Series Of Handbooks To The Cathedrals, Originated By The Late Mr. John Murray, To Which The Reader May In Most Cases Be Referred For Fuller Detail, Especially In Reference To The Histories Of The Respective Sees.

The Reformation in Scotland was of a character more sweeping and destructive than is easy of realisation by an Englishman at the present day. In the southern kingdom much that as symbolism was valuable, and as art was admirable, was wantonly given over to the hammer or the flames at that time; but one learns to be thankful for the many works of glory and of beauty that were nevertheless left to us, when one turns one's eyes to the northern realm.
