Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Westminster Abbey is one of the most noted buildings in all Europe. This church or cathedral was built during the latter part of the 13th century, but many changes have taken place since and many additions have been added to the original building. This building with its Royal Burial vaults and long series of monuments to celebrated men, is regarded by the English as their Temple of Fame. Interment within these walls is considered the last and greatest honor that can be paid to the most deserving of the nations offspring. The space being limited, many noted and worthy persons are not buried there, but fit and suitable monuments are erected to their memory.”
