First published as 'Ancient Architecture, Restored and Improved' (London: 1742) and re-issued under this title. A pioneering work, simultaneously of the Gothic revival and the Rococo style.

Langley's work has proved immensely influential. Bound in at the rear: An 8 page catalogue of "A Catalogue of Modern Books on Architecture. on sale at Taylor's Architectural Library", c. 1800.
