“Ewerby is a magnificent specimen of a Flowing Middle-Pointed Church.  It is most perfectly measured and described; one can follow the most recondite beauties of the construction, mouldings and joints, in these Plates, almost as well as in the original structure.  Such a monograph as this will be of incalculable value to the architects of our Colonies or the United States, who have no means of access to ancient churches.  The Plates are on stone, done with remarkable skill and distinctness.  Of Heckington we can only say that the perspective view from the south-east presents a very vision of beauty; we can hardly conceive anything more perfect.  We heartily recommend this series to all who are able to patronize it.”—­Ecclesiologist, Oct. 1849.
