Synopsis
Excerpt from The Golden Days of the Early English Church, Vol. 1: From the Arrival of Theodore to the Death of Bede
IT was many years ago, when I used to discuss early English history with Mr. Freeman (with whom I had more than one sharp polemic), that I formed the intention of sometime trying to analyse its early sources and to unriddle its difficulties and obscurities in greater accordance with modern scientific methods than do some popular guides. It is indeed rather scandalous that in this particular period of our national story we should be so far behind both the Germans and French in our methods of writing history, and should still present so much matter for criticism in our books on the subject.

Excerpt from The Golden Days of the Early English Church, Vol. 1: From the Arrival of Theodore to the Death of Bede
The extant remains of English crypts at this date being so few, I have added some representations from foreign specimens for comparison, for two of which I am under obligations to Rivoira's fine work, vol. Ii. Pp. 81, 83. The plates represent the seventh-century crypt of the Church of St. Paul at Jouarre, and another interesting crypt, namely, that of St. Genevieve at Paris, from Dahn, Urgesclzz'c/zte, vol. V.
