Excerpt from Rudimentary Architecture: For the Use of Beginners, and Students; The Orders, and Their Aesthetic Principles
As prefaces are very seldom read, the above escapade will probably escape all but those who will be far too discreet to take any notice of 1t. And as prefaces are usually ignored, it is chiefly for form sake here stated, that excepting the additional chapters on Supercolumniation, and Anthropom orphie Pillars, this edition is nearly a reprint of the first one. It is indeed f arther. Augmented by an Appendix containing two or three detached articles, which, if not exactly in keeping with the character of an Elementary' Treatise - as it must be con fesse'd, is the case, they being in themselves more or less polemical, disquisitorial, and critical' do not at all interfere 'with the Treatise itself. Besides which it is to'be hoped that those who shall not merely have perused, but carefully studied what 13 said of the Orders,' will be prepared for comprehend ing and taking an interest in the more discursive criticism which has been here thrown into the shape of an Appendix.
