It is twice as large as I had imagined. ^ After a deliberate survey, I concluded that our famous Trinity in Broadway would just about fill the choir ! The arches I understood the verger to say, were a hundred and eighty-eight feet high. From a careful Yankee guess, I should say the Gothic pillars that support the roof were thirty-Jive feet in circumference, and in the centre of this prodigious pile it was two hundred and thirty-two feet! The entire structure covers some half dozen acres, and fo...r gigantic proportions has no rival. The splendour of its stained glass windows, chaste and elaborate carvings and beautiful statuary, filled me with amazement, for I was not yet wonder-proof. Under the largest window, as big as the end of an ordinary church, are heads of Christ and his twelve apostles, chiselled from stone ; on the numer- ous projections are busts : and superb statues stand in the numberless niches. The cloisters contain many monuments, knights in armour, archbishops, and bishops, on canopied thrones.
