Excerpt from Essays on Gothic Architecture The want of a concife hiftorical account of Gothic architecture has been a juft caufe of complaint: the fubjeet is peculiarly interefting to every Englifhman, as his country contains the belt fpecimens of a ite of building not unequal in grace, beauty, and ornament, to the moit celebrated remains of Greece or Rome. This {tyle of architecture may pro perly be called Englifh architecture, for if it had not its origin in this country, it certainly arrived at maturity here the fcience and tafte of our forefathers being equally confpicuous with their piety and liberality. On this fub jeet, England mutt be confidered as a country, for it was under the Saxon dynatty this fte of building was introduced, and under the Nor man dynafty it received its ultimate degree of beauty and perfection.

Excerpt from Development Character of Gothic Architecture The idea having widely prevailed that Gothic was an art common to the nations of the North, each country has in turn laid claim to the superiority of its own style. This idea, as I endeavour to show, is incorrect, and has arisen from a lack of discriminating analysis. The peculiarities of pointed design, exhibited by the different countries of Europe.

Excerpt from Development and Character of Gothic Architecture It has been necessary to devote a considerable portion of the book to detailed descriptions of structural forms and adjustments. These may prove tedious to the unprofessional reader but I have endeavoured to make them as brief as was consistent with thoroughness, and to express myself, as far as possible, in terms that may be generally understood. The illustrations to the book have been reproduced either on wood or by mechanical process from drawings, the most of which were made on the spot, or from photographs, by myself. For some of the illustrations of sculpture the drawings have been made from photographs either by my daughter, or by myself; and several of the most elaborate illustrations of entire buildings have been drawn from photographs for the engraver by Mr. H. W. Brewer of London, the well-known architectural draughtsman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
