"In 1848 Warrington courted further controversy when he published his The History of Stained Glass. Curiously, and inadvisably, he had used illustrations of his own work, rather than those of ancient examples, to demonstrate the styles ... Warrington's text was also heavily criticized for inaccuracy in its literary references, interpretation of medieval arrangement of subject matter and use of sacred forms. The book, however, remains a useful indicator of the 1840s work of Warrington and is a source of information regarding some early nineteenth-century glass-painters."--Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
