Excerpt from Stained Glass Windows: An Essay, With a Report to the Vestry on Stained Glass Windows for Grace Church, Lockport, New York
The project of four years ago is no longer an insubstantial dream. Since that time eleven windows and three mosaics have been placed in Grace Church; in them all the adopted scheme has been followed, with results more and more obviously satisfactory.
Although intending this pamphlet, in the first instance, simply for a guide to his own people, to lead them to a more dis criminating appreciation: the author is encouraged to hope, by many expressions from the outside, that it will, even more than the earlier Report, be of service be yond his parish; that it may perhaps stimulate elsewhere also_ a study of Church Glass, and the erection of true Church Windows.
