The various Changes it has undergone, from its first Establishment as a Christian Church to the present Time. 3.

Characters, Anecdotes, and Memoirs of the Lives of the Kings and principal Personages interred in the enclosed Chapels, or open Parts of this Abbey. 6.

A particular Description of the Building, Beautifying, and endowing Henry the Viith's Chapel, with the Ornaments belonging to it. 8. A general View of the Cloisters; with Copies of two remarkable Inscriptions there. 9. Translations of the Hebrew, Ethiopic and Greek Epitaphs in this Church, particularly those on the Tombs of Sir Samuel Morland's two Wives, never before attempted. Designed as a Guide to Strangers in viewing this venerable Pile, and to point out to them the most valuable Remains of Antiquity contained therein, as well as the Beauties of modern Statuaries. Note, This is the only perfect Account of the Monuments in Westminster-Abbey hitherto published.
