Book Description
Excerpt from The Arts in Early England From the first the series of volumes of which this is one has been addressed as much to the general public as to those whose interests are scholarly, and to a public moreover wider than that constituted by the incident of British birth, for to our kinsfolk from the Dominions and to independent offshoots from the common Anglo - Saxon stock there is a perennial attractiveness in the English country villages where, or near which, the subject matter of these volumes for the most part exists or has come to light. There is indeed no possession of the British race endowed with a charm more intimate, more essentially our own, than the English country village, and there are numberless rural hamlets where nature and man have worked in concert to fill the place with a mellowed beauty, that, after all, win their chief claim to praise from the perfect setting they provide for the country church.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Arts in Early England, Vol. 6: Part II, Anglo-Saxon Sculpture The editor cannot conclude this preface without a more personal note concerning the author of these volumes. The books themselves are his memorial and testify to his deep sensibility of the early art of England and the place it occupied in the life of the people. As with much of the later mediaeval art, it was an illustrative, almost didactic, art combined with beautiful forms. It taught in carved stone and illuminated page not a reading but a remembering' people, as the author has so aptly described them. This tradition of teaching in the arts was faithfully and ably carried forward by the author during his fifty years' tenure of the Professorship of Fine Art in Edinburgh University. It was the editor's privilege to be the recipient of his very generous hospitality on a number of occasions, and he well understands and shares the affection and respect felt for the writer of these volumes and expressed without exception by all those former students Of his whom the editor has met. Though these and other volumes be his more permanent memorial, his greatest must be his place in the hearts of those who knew him.
