To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tombs of Courtney (Bishop of Norwich) and Lewis Robsart (the King's standard-bearer) recall the heroic memories of Henry V and Agincourt. In the reign of Elizabeth the abbey begins to assume the character that it has borne ever since of a temple of fame, summed up in Nelson's historical ex- clamation, " A Peerage or Westminster Abbey. " The great Lord Burleigh lies at Stamford, but he appears at Westminster on the monument to his wife and daughter in the kneeling posture which duly edified ...Sir Roger. Of all the earlier monuments none is probably better known than the tomb of Sir Francis Vere, of the " fighting " family of that name. Four kneeling knights support the arms of the dead man, and it is of one of these that Roubiliac is said to have exclaimed; "Hush! he will speak directly!" Blake the admiral, who maybe said to have founded the naval supremacy of England, was buried by command of the Protector in Henry VII's chapel, and it is interesting to find the Royalist Clarendon anticipating the senti- ment of Nelson : " To encourage his officers to venture their lives, that they might be pompously buried, he was, with all solemnity possible, interred in Harry the Seventh's Chapel, among the monu- ments of the Kings.
