From the introduction: "I have undertaken to put down certain thoughts of mine evoked by the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, my niece. I agreed to do so only because my years of service in furthering the interests of the British Empire would seem to qualify me to write on this subject more authoritatively than most. To be sure, the act of being crowned was one condition of kingship which I, for reasons that by now must be fairly well known, never attained during my brief reign. Here, my purpose is simply to record my recollections of two earlier Coronations that I attended at Westminster Abbey and to set forth, on the basis of my own experience, certain observations concerning the functions and influence of the British Crown in the twentieth century."

From the Introduction: "My book is meant for the untraveled unprofessional American who wants to understand in a general way why the great churches of the Old Country deserve to be admired, and for his traveled brother who wants to realize a little better why he himself admired them. It is not a history of English architecture, and it is not a full and faithful picture of the churches it professes to describe. It is simply a sketch of English cathedral-building, based upon such evidence as twelve typical examples could supply. But I have tried to make it an architectural rather than pictorial sketch." Book is cocked, corners and spine ends bumped, covers soiled and scuffed, front hinge is a little weak; interior is clean, no writing or marks, binding sound. Illustrator: Pennell, Joseph.
