"The Dean imparts to his subject a freshness that strikes
exactly the right note. Times without number the beauties of
York have been pointed out, but never with more completeness
than in 'Picturesque Old York'.... Throughout the whole story
there is maintained a sense of contrast with modern life, and
full descriptions are given of those vanished glories which made
York one of the finest cities in the world."--_York Herald_

"Mr. Draper has done his duty by his Parish in a way that cannot
be too widely imitated.... He describes the Church, a fine
specimen of late Norman.... He tells the story of the Patrons
and Incumbents, and gives a complete list.... Mr. Draper has
piously preserved all the Mortuary Inscriptions. Among them we
notice a name which will be familiar to some of our readers:
John William Inchbold, painter and poet."--_Spectator._
"Mr. Draper has done his work well."--_The Times._
"In 'Adel and its Norman Church' the present Rector has enlarged
a familiar picture and placed it in a worthier frame.... Adel
and its Church are the embodiment of our National History for
seven centuries, and Mr. Draper's book is of much more than
local top
