Assuming the Restoration to be strictly and minutely correct - and we all know the large experience, singular skill, and conscientious care of this distinguished Architect - it was impossible to know, with regard, for instance, to the east end of the Choir or the south end of the South Transept, what was in ruin during any particular reign, or how far anything survived, which is now beginning to re-appear. An intentional inconsistency.
