The following is the Preface to the First Edition of the Pamphlet:—
"TO CHURCH BUILDERS AND CHURCH RENOVATORS.
"I wish to call attention to the following article by Mr. Butterfield, which appeared in the Church Builder for last month.
"Full-sized Models of the Seats and Kneeling-boards, as illustrated at the end of this paper, can now be seen at the Offices of the Incorporated Church Building Society, No. 2, Dean's Yard, Westminster, on application to the Secretary, during office hours.
"The Society strongly recommends the use of Kneeling-boards, if of well-considered proportions.
"Homewood, Chislehurst,
August, 1885."
A second edition being now called for, I am able to give, in an Appendix, communications, which have appeared in the Church Builder, from clergymen who have had practical experience of the Seats and Kneeling-boards referred to in this pamphlet.
July, 1886.
