Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was a canon of Canterbury when he published this work - four essays on the history of the cathedral - in 1855. Taking events associated with Canterbury, he puts them in a wider historical context, describing the locations in which they were enacted, and including fascinating details from literary sources.

In this 1869 work, Arthur Stanley draws on both the manuscript archives of Westminster Abbey and on the work of earlier historians to describe its foundation, the coronations, the royal tombs, the other monuments to distinguished men and women, and the history of the abbey before and after the Reformation.

First published in 1844, these two volumes present a collection of letters by Thomas Arnold (1795-1842), Head of Rugby School and Professor of History at Oxford. The letters in Volume 1 reveal Arnold's early life, his career at Rugby up to 1835, and his ideas for educational reform.
