Excerpt from The History of St. Martin's Church, Canterbury: A Monograph It was remarked by a visitor to St. Martin's Church only a few days ago, that a "book ought to be written about its antiquities." The same feeling has been held by the present writer for many years, and as early as 1881 he began to collect materials, which the somewhat laborious duties of an official life and the pressure of various occupations has hitherto prevented him from arranging and bringing into shape. The fact of no History of such a venerable Church having been previously written, appeared to him as incomprehensible as it does now to the numerous pilgrims from England, America, and France, until he ventured to undertake the task, and then the reason became abundantly evident. St. Martin s is the scene of one great historical event, and of one only. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
