and CANTERBURY: by DESIDERIUS ERASMUS.
Being his Colloquy on Pilgrimage, translated and illustrated with Notes,
by JOHN GOUGH NICHOLS, F.S.A.; together with the Colloquy on Rash Vows,
and the Characters of Archbishop Warham and Dean Collet, by the same
Author.
"This entertaining little volume will afford to many a reader not only
much information on the subject of Pilgrimages, but also numerous
illustrations of the feelings and habits of the times."--_Athenaeum._
"We can conceive no more perfect translation than Mr. Nichols has given;
most delicately does he express the quiet eloquence and quieter irony of
the original; while his Notes--which occupy about three-fourths of the
handsome volume--are full of the most curious, learned, and interesting
matter."--_Weekly News._
"In the Appendix, Mr. Nichols gives a very interesting dissertation on
pilgrimages in general, and furnishes us with much curious information
relative to Walsingham, and a judicious summary of facts and
circumstances connected with the murder of Archbishop Becket."--
_Salisbury Journal._

year to more than three hundred) of eminent characters, whether
