Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Account of King's College Chapel The success which has attended this little work from its first appearance, and the approval with which it has been received prompts me to issue a second and revised edition. Regret has been expressed by some, that I omitted to give a description of all the windows, and that there were no illustrations in the first edition. This I have endeavoured to remedy by giving the subjects of all the windows (with here and there a special note) and inserting some pictures of the Chapel both inside and out, also the arms and supporters (a dragon and greyhound) of Henry VII, crowned rose and portcullis, from the walls of the ante-chapel and the initials H.A. from the screen. I am indebted to Messrs. Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd., I Amen Corner, London, for the loan of the blocks of the former, which appeared in the late Sir William St. John Hope's book Heraldry for Craftsmen and Designers.
