Excerpt from An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of Architecture in England, From the Conquest to the Reformation
As a text-book for the architectural student, little need be said of this publication. The want of such a work, particularly as it respects the English styles, is generally acknowledged; and it has been the aim of the Author, by a constant reference to buildings, to instil the principles of practice rather than mere theoretical knowledge.
