I muft apologize to the public for fo haftily pafllng over two
places of which ampler accounts might have been expefted. I have
lived fo long in C h e ste r that a more minute hiftory of it ought to
have been given ; but after all, it would have feemed trivial, on the
appearance o f the labors of the Rev. Dr. F o o t G ow er, which the
Public has very long expeited. I {hall rejoice on a future ocCafion to
have opportunity of drawing from fo rich a magazine, a variety of
materials for a farther elucidation of the refpectable capital of fo re-
ipedtable a county,
I wiih I eould'alTign as good a reafon for my worfe than negledt
of the venerable L incoln. When I palled through it in 1769, I
muft have been planet-ftruck, not to have obferved the amazing beauties
of the external as well as internal architecture of the cathedral..
I could not ftifle my remorfe. Laft year I haftened thither; and
with all ligns o f .contrition, made, the amende honorable before the
great door., I truft that my penitence was accepted by the whole
chapter. A recantation of the little refpeft I payed to its external:
elegance will be a fubjeCt of a future volume, a Tour through the-
Eaftern Farts of the Mercian Kingdom.
