Browne Willis's three-volume antiquarian survey of the twenty-seven English and Welsh cathedrals, printed in London by Thomas Osborne in 1742 for clergy, antiquaries and topographers. The thirty-two engraved plates give measured ground plans keyed by letter and number to lists of monuments and burials, with occasional exterior elevations, plus woodcut headpieces of birds, scrollwork and flower baskets; useful for architectural line work, keyed diagram layouts and engraved lettering.
