Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

One of the leading exponents of the nineteenth century's Gothic
Revival, the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-78) most
famously designed the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens and the
Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras. In the design and restoration of
churches and cathedrals, his work was distinguished by its care,
skill and sheer volume: most medieval cathedrals in England and
Wales, including Westminster Abbey, benefited from Scott's
expertise in some form. Written between 1864 and his death, then
edited by his son and fellow architect George Gilbert Scott
(1839-97), this 1879 autobiography was among the first of its kind,
recording the background, career and opinions of a prolific
professional architect. Moreover, the work includes a defence of
Scott's principles against what he saw as the 'anti-restoration
movement', led by John Ruskin and others. Altogether, these lucid
memoirs confirm Scott's place at the centre of Victorian design.
In this book Dean Burgon delivers seven sermons preached to his
students at the University of Oxford. In the sermons, he defends
the inerrancy of the Bible--down to the very words, syllables, and
letters of it. He also gives sound principles of Biblical
interpretation. Before these seven constructive sermons, the Dean
makes a 228 page answer to "Essays and Reviews." In this answer he
shows himself a champion of Bible believing truth and an opponent
of every heresy and heretic attempt to dishonor God's inerrant
Words. This book is a continuation of the Dean's "The Traditional
Text."
There is a battle over the Bible that is raging in liberal,
neo-evangelical, and even many fundamental churches, schools,
colleges, universities, and seminaries. One of the most recurring
falsehoods that is used by the enemies of the Greek Traditional
Text or Received Text is the almost unbelievable falsehood that the
Greek text was not in existence until 1516 A.D. with Erasmus. This
volume thunders out an effective reply to the serious errors of
this false position. It proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the
Traditional Text was in the hands of the churches in a continuous
time line from the original Apostolic times down to the present.
Dean Burgon demonstrates that the methodology of modern textual
criticism fails to hold up when examined against the last twelve
verses of Mark. The entire system of textual critics must be
rejected. He shows that Bishop B. F. Westcott and Professor F. J.
A. Hort and their followers are categorically wrong in their
approach to the text of the New Testament. Dean Burgon's book is a
fatal blow to the manuscripts "B" and "Aleph," which are the
favorite manuscripts of the modern textual critics.
