The Builder: “A very well-written book, with a very good æsthetic perception as to what is best and most to be admired in ancient stained glass.”
The Antiquary: “A well-qualified guide for all who can appreciate the loveliness of the old glass in which France is still so rich.”
Roger Fry in The Burlington Magazine: “He has really looked, and looked lovingly, at the windows he describes. His knowledge is evidently adequate, and he rearranges it in a form which he who automobiles may read.”
Westminster Gazette: “Useful and interesting. Mr. Sherrill gives just enough information to enable the lay reader to understand the difficulties with which the artist in coloured glass had to contend. Moreover, he has the eloquence of a true enthusiast, and is able to communicate to others his own delight.”
Pall Mall Gazette: “Exceedingly useful. A work showing much industry, enthusiasm, and good taste, it is a really valuable supplementary volume to one’s Murray or Baedeker. The author has excellent taste.”
Morning Post: “Mr. Sherrill does feel very sincerely the beauty of stained glass, and is able to communicate his feeling in writing. Mr. Sherrill pilots us on a pleasant cruise among some of the greatest of the French examples of the style.”
British Architect: “The writer manages to say a good many interesting things. Mr. Sherrill’s book is written in a most interesting style.”
Architectural Review: “A useful book. Mr. Sherrill has an acute appreciation of the important relationship between the glass and the surrounding architecture, and he has brought the fresh mind of the amateur to his subject.”
