Excerpt from Styles of Ornament, Exhibited in Designs and Arranged in Historical Order With Descriptive Text
An English edition was published in America in 1906 for sale in that country only, but the historical accounts were not in accordance with the latest research and many of the descriptions to the plates had suffered so much in translation that very considerable revision was necessary in preparing the present issue. Three new plates of English Ornament have been added to this edition taking the place of others which it was found necessary to delete, various changes have also been made in the headings to some of the chapters and in the terms employed, more particularly in the section devoted to the Renaissance period; for instance the term Barocco, which although well-known and recognised throughout Germany is but seldom used here, has been replaced by Later Renaissance which is more familiar to the English student and includes that which used to be known as the pure Italian style introduced by Inigo Jones.
