From the Tate Gallery we drove j volent to “monastery” (Latin monasterium), while the prefix “West” indicates its position west ; of London. It is not a Cathedral now in the episcopal sense of “a church situated in a city which gives its name to an episcopal see ( Kr. siege, ‘seat’), and in which a bishop has his raised seat or throne (Gk.

We experienced the force of Ed mund Burke’s remark: “The mo ment I entered Westminster Ab bey, I felt a kind ot awe pervade my mind which I cannot describe; the very silence seemed sacred.” Dean, Canons and other officers. ! . . The present church is the i work not of one generation but of five centuries.” (Dean G G Brad ley, D. D.) One portion parti cularly, Henry VIl’s Chapel, is for exquisite loveliness and architec tural splendor, absolutely without rival in the world. It is now one vast mausoleum of English greatness, without a peer in the world, and might well be termed Great Britain’s “Temple ot Fame.” Nowhere else on earth have the ashes of so many really great personages been brought to gether as here; and many buried elsewhere are memorialized in monuments erected in this edifice.
