Sinossi
Excerpt from Sacred and Mediaeval Architecture, Vol. 2: A Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of "the Gentleman's Magazine" From 1731-1868
His name long remained a name to conjure with; and when the Gentleman's Magazine entered into the crusade against removing the screen of York Cathedral (recorded in the notes, pp. 266 they invoked his name foremost among the champions against useless and misleading innovations.
But the age of innovation has not yet passed, as we know to our cost in the present age. It has often occurred to me that a useful volume might be compiled on the economics of architecture. It would throw a lurid light on the fashion for squandering millions in hopelessly disfiguring some of our grandest buildings, while others cannot be kept in decent repair, at the cost of a few pounds.
No one will, I think, regret having these papers of Carter's collected together in a handy and accessible form.
Some few additional papers have been included. They are Carter's own papers on Durham and York, signed in full by him, and some papers of later date by other writers, on subjects nearly akin to those dealt with in the previous pages.
I have left in all references to plates and illustrations, because of their usefulness for reference to the originals.
The notes are intended to bring information in the text to the present time; and I am greatly indebted to my friend Mr. Henry B. Wheatley for his valuable contribution on the London items. Mr. Wheatley is just finishing his arduous undertaking, The Hand book of London, founded on Cunningham's work, and he most generously dipped into his unpublished sheets, as the work was going through the press, for my notes. I have also again to thank Mr. J. T. Micklethwaite for 'much kind assistance in the reading of the sheets and comments thereon, for which I was always grateful, and nearly always used. Mr. W. H. St. John Hope has also very kindly assisted me on many points of doubt.
