Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monumental Brasses of England: A Series of Engravings Upon Wood From Every Variety of These Interesting and Valuable Memorials, Accompanied With Brief Descriptive Notices The almost exclusively national character of Monumental Brasses in England, and the general recognition of their high value and interest, appeared to require the production of some work which would comprise a numerous and diversified series of examples of these memorials, and which, at the same time, from its moderate cost, might be available to every class of archaeological enquirers.
