Excerpt from Saints and Their Symbols: A Companion in the Churches and Picture Galleries of Europe IN issuing another edition of this little book, the author wishes to acknowledge the kindness and favour with which it has been received Since its first publication more than twenty years ago. The continuance of a demand for it is the best testimony that it has fulfilled in some measure a real want, and has encouraged the issue of a new edition. No change has been made in the Scope of the book, as experience has apparently endorsed the aim and limitations which were marked out in its Origin.
