Its principal parts were erected when the Gothic style was at "its greatest purity, during the reigns of the first four Edwards, and "Richard the Second. The south transept was erected by Walter de_Grey, in the year 1227; the north transeprwas built by John le Romaine, Archbishop William de Melton carried on the building ; and the nave, with its two towers at the western end, were nished about the year 1330. One of the greatest benefactors to who took down the choir built by Bishop ' Roger, which did not correspond with the ele- gance of `the nave and west front, and expen- . dad 1670 in the erection of the choir which has so recently suffered by `fire. vThe first stone was laid in the year 1361, and it was completed about the year 1370., Walter Sker- law, Bishop of Durham. who had formerly been a prebendary of York, appropriated a large sum of money to the enlargement and repairing of the building, and erected a new` steeple in the centre.

At this moment it was impossible to view the interior without emotions of the most painful kind. Every vestige of the tabernacle work around the choir,aml forming the pro. bends stalls, &'.c., was consumed; the pews, the cathedra, the pulpit. the` beautiful altar screen, so justly admired for its elegant archi- tecture, had all bet-"ante one comminizled rnass of smotildeting and blazing min, which strew- ed the pavement to the depth of three ft'l3l. The pillars, that once served to assist in divid- ing the choir from the two side aisles, new stood itlone, the whole being one open space. with the roof burning on the ground, and noth- ingabove but the light of heaven.

From this minster yard, the smoke was seen issuing from the base of the lantern tower, from the pinnacles to the south front, all along the roof of the nave to the western tower. The llaunes liademade lrigtitlul progress at nine o'clock-in the morning; the minster bells were rung, to spread the alarm still further; and shortly after the roof choir began to fall in, at every fall sending upshowers of sparks and pieces of ignited wood, some of which were borne in the air to a considerable distance, The ames now played uncontrolled on the exterior of the choir and chancel, rising several feet above the battlemenls; while the water I lroin the engines mingled uith the stream of melted leetl`l'rom the roof. .1. nl.;.. ............... :. ._.__ 3-.- -- uucuulu UL me W83! eml.

In 1014, Sweyne, the Danish prince. ,was buried at York ;`as also, in 1016, was Tosti, the furious Earl of Nurthumberland, who fell at the battle of Stamford A Bridge.

The vaulting of the roof springs from tall and ele- gant pillars rising from the ground, and at- tached to these columns ; and. when the declining rays of the setting sun illumins the windows of the west front, it displaysa grandeur beyond description. V The upper win- dows are elegantly adorned with imagery and eeciitcheons. Under these runs an `open gal- lery, in which, exactlyiover the point of the arches, formerlystood images of the tutelar saints of the several nations of Christendom. That of St. George and the dragon alone `re- mains. The aisles of the nave are said to display a grandeur unequalled in the king- dom, possessing the loftiness of those oftWes-t- minster, without the narrowness of that beauti- ` ful structure. The pavement is a species of mosaio work, and very elegant. The splendid stone screen which separates the nave from the choir deserves particular attention. The de- sign is of the most florid description. It is divided into fteen compartments, and con- t_ains the elligiesof our Kings from theconquest to Henry the Fifth. That of Henry the Sixth wastaken down by the order of a former Archbishop. Its place is now occupied by that of James the First. Over this Screen was placed the organ. ' The choir, so lately destroyed, is in part thus described by Mr. Britton: After passing through the screen the visjter is introduced to the choir, which is grandiin scale, and rich in adornment.
