    . PREFACE. _The Hunchback of Notre Dame_ by Victor Hugo
    .
    A few years ago, while visiting or, rather, rummaging
    about Notre-Dame, the author of this book found, in an
    obscure nook of one of the towers, the following word,
    engraved by hand upon the wall:--
    .
    . ~ *ANAGKH* ~
    .
    These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply
    graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar
    to Gothic caligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon
    their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing
    that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had
    inscribed them there, and especially the fatal & melancholy
    meaning contained in them, struck the author DEEPly.
    .
    He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could
    have been that soul in torment which had not been willing
    to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime
    or unhappiness upon the brow of the ancient church.
    .
    Afterwards, the wall was WHITEWASHed or scraped down, I
    know not which, and the inscription disappeared. For it is
    thus that people have been in the habit of proceeding with
    the marvellous churches of the Middle Ages for the last two
    hundred years. Mutilations come to them from every quarter,
    from within as well as from without. The priest
    *WHITEWASHes* them, the archdeacon scrapes them down;
    then the populace arrives and demolishes them.
    .
    It is upon this word that this book is founded.
    . -- Victor Hugo March, 1831 ---------------------------------------------------------------
    <<And so down to the heart of [Stratford] the nexus of buildings
    . dominated by the grey-stone tower of the Gild-Chapel built
    . by Hugh Clopton. When Leland was here,
    .
    . 'about the body of this chapel was
    . curiously painted the Dance of Death.'
    .
    The interior was sadly ravaged by the Reformation -
    paintings *WHITE-WASHed* . We have with much
    effort recovered something of the painted *DOOM* .>>

    . Wm Shaxpere & Anna *WHATEley* of Temple Grafton ...........................................
    <<There is an old English word *WHATE* ,
    . meaning fortune, *FATE* , or destiny,
    I think that in a desperate moment of inspiration,
    confused before the clerk, Shakespeare reached into
    his heart and came out with the name of that Anne
    who would have been his choice, his fate, his destiny.>>

    It is printing. Let the reader make no mistake; architecture is dead; irretrievably slain by the printed book,--slain because it endures
    for a shorter time,--slain because it costs more. Every cathedral
    represents millions. Let the reader now imagine what an investment
    of funds it would require to rewrite the architectural book; to
    cause thousands of edifices to swarm once more upon the soil;
    to return to those epochs when the throng of monuments
    was such, according to the statement of an eye witness,
    "that one would have said that the world in *SHAKING*
    itself, had cast off its old garments in order to
    coVER itself with a white vesture of churches."

    Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens ** Stave 4 The Last of the Spirits

    They left the busy scene, and went into an obscure part of the town,
    where Scrooge had nEVER penetrated before, although he recognised its situation, and its bad repute. The ways were foul and narrow; the
    shops and houses wretched; the people half-naked, drunken, slipshod,
    ugly. Alleys and archways, like so many cesspools, disgorged their
    offences of smell, and dirt, and life, upon the straggling streets;
    and the whole quarter reeked with crime, with filth, and misery. Far
    in this den of infamous resort, there was a low-browed, beetling shop,
    below a pent-house roof, where iron, old rags, bottles, bones, and
    greasy *OFFAL*, were bought. Upon the floor within, were piled up
    heaps of rusty keys, *NAILS, CHAINS* , hinges, files, scales,
    weights, & refuse iron of all kinds. Secrets that few would
    like to scrutinise were bred and hidden in MOUNTAINS of
    unseemly rags, masses of corrupted fat, & sepulchres of bones. ------------------------------------------------------
    Jonson's "Conversations with William Drummond":

    "He esteemeth John Donne the first poet in the world,
    in some things: his *VERsEs of the lost CHAIN*
    he hath by heart; and that passage of 'The Calm',
    that *DUST & FEATHERS* do not stir, all was so quiet.
    Affirmeth Donne to have written all his best
    pieces ere he was twenty-five years old." -------------------------------------------------

    him after the Tower had been extensively renovated
    including the addition of an upper floor in 1605-6
    so as to house the Raleigh's & their attendants.

    Lady Raleigh was allowed to come & go as she pleased
    and, in fact, left with young *WAT* in 1604 when there
    was an outbreak of plague. Things couldn't have been
    all that bad because a 2nd son - *CAREW* - was born in
    the Bloody Tower & baptized in *St. Peter AD VINCULA*
    - the Tower's chapel - on the 15th February, 1606. ........................................................
    St Peter ad Vincula (London) From Wikipedia,

    <<The Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula ("St. Peter in chains")
    is the parish church of the Tower of London, dating from 1520 & is
    a Royal Peculiar. The name refers to St. Peter's imprisonment under
    Herod in Jerusalem. The Chapel is probably best known as the burial
    place of some of the most famous prisoners executed at the Tower.>> ...................................................................
    February 12, 1554, Lady Jane Grey & her husband Guilford Dudley were
    executed at the Tower of London. Lady Jane Grey's body was buried,
    along with Dudley's, in St Peter's ad Vincula church, near those
    of Anne Boleyn & Catherine Howard, two other executed queens.
    The historian Macauley called it the saddest spot on Earth. ------------------------------------------------------------
