A House of God: a Guide to St Patrick’s Cathedral
Chamberlin, Dean F. M.

Written by the church, it is naturally suspect, but in reality, this is as an objective and reporting on the Cathedral as could be expected from anyone. "The real beauty of St Patrick's is internal. The ring of chapels provides a fascinating display of space around the altar. Viewed from this end in the golden light from amber glass windows, the Cathedral's interior presents a Gothic vision probably unsurpassed by any other building in the 400 years since the great Gothic era".
