Excerpt from Glastonbury Three thousand miles away, across the Atlantic, in the south western part of England, is the town for which ours was named. It is an old and famous town was old and famous long before Columbus discovered America. It is famous because there was built the first Christian church in Britain. Many believe that it was built by Joseph of Arimathea, who came from Jerusalem in the year 60 A. D. To preach the gospel to the natives of Britain, who were then pagans. That little church has been burned and rebuilt more than once, but its ruins stand there now. Beside the little church, there was built a larger one, and a great monastery or abbey in which, for many years, was kept a famous school for boys and young men. St. Patrick of Ireland was once abbot of that school, for in those days all Christian churches were of the Catholic faith.

Excerpt from The Last Abbot of Glastonbury: A Tale of the Dissolution of the Monasteries The Author humbly ventures to offer the ninth of his series of original tales, illustrating Church History, to the public; encouraged by the favourable reception the previous volumes have found, In the tales, "AEmilius," "Evanus," and "The Camp on the Severn," he has endeavoured to describe the epoch of the Pagan persecutions, under the Roman Empire; in the "Three Chronicles of AEsccndune," successive epochs of Early English history; in the "Andredsweald," the Norman Conquest; in "Fairleigh Hall," the Great Rebellion; and in the present volume, one of the earliest of the series of events ordinarily grouped under the general phrase "The Reformation," the destruction of the Monasteries. It is many years since the writer was first attracted and yet saddened by the tragical story of the fate of the last Abbot of Glastonbury, and amongst the tales by which he was wont to enliven the Sunday evenings in a large School, this narrative found a foremost place, and excited very general interest, A generation ago, few English Churchmen cared to say a good word for the unhappy monks, who suffered so cruel a persecution at the hands of Henry the Eighth and his vicar-general, Thomas Cromwell.

Excerpt from An History of the Abbey of Glaston, and of the Town of Glastonbury To think well of, and feel cordially towards, the individual members of this faith, would, in truth, be no great stretch of Christian charity, since the imperishable names of Fenelon and Pascal, and a thousand others, afford a suflicient evidence that men may be rigid devotees of [the Romish Church, and yet, in other respects, deserve to be reckoned among the excellent ones of the earth.

Excerpt from The Architectural History of Glastonbury Abbey The Abbey of Glastonbury is one of those to which a peculiar interest has been always attached. The boldness of its legendary history, which claims for its site the privileges of being that on which the first Christian church was erected in our island, and the burial-place of King Arthur and Joseph of Arimathea also the peculiar architectural character and beauty of the chapel which now bears the name of St Joseph, its singular plan and position; and lastly, the picturesque remains of the great church itself, little inferior to the chapel in beauty, and of the celebrated kitchen and barn -these furnish sufficient grounds for the interest which has been maintained up to our own time, and has made this place the theme of so many writers, ancient and modern, that the subject might appear to have been exhausted in all directions. Yet it must have been perceived by the readers of these Writers, that the interpretation of the documentary evidence, with reference to its application to the build ings, is still enveloped in indecision and conjecture.

Excerpt from Glastonbury, a Township, 1693: A Review of Events Leading Up to Glastonbury's Final Separation From Wethersfield and Incorporation in 1693 In these troubled times a mere Observance of such an event seems inadequate. Rather we should commemorate the history of those men of courage, of fortitude and of Christian ideals who established this town. We should trace the progress of those institutions which they founded. We should rededicate ourselves to their high principles. One of the most cherished institutions which our forefathers have handed down to us is the town meeting form of government. It seems fitting that a town meeting take action in connection with the forthcoming historical event. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Last Abbot of Glastonbury and His Companions: An Historical Sketch The history 'of Glastonbury is the history of its abbey without its abbey Glastonbury were nothing.1 Even among those great ecclesias tical institutions, the Benedictine abbeys of medieval England, the history of Glastonbury has a Character all its own. I will not insult its venerable age, says a recent historian, by so much as contrasting it with the foundations of yesterday which arose under the influence of the Cistercian movement, for they play but a small part indeed in the history of this church and realm. Glastonbury is something more than N etley and Tintern, Rievaux and F oun tains. It is something more again than the Benedictine houses which arose at the bidding of the Norman Conqueror, of his race and of his companions; more than Selby and Battle.
