Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Decorative Part of Civil Architecture: With Illustrations, Notes, and an Examination of Grecian Architecture Since the time of sir william chambers very great changes have come over both architectural theory and practice. For a while ultra-greek, or what was passed off for and accepted as such, was in the ascendant, until its insufficiency to do more than give us the merest Copyism, and the most wearisome repetition of the same forms and features, led to another vicissitude in a quite contrary direction. Gothic, for which the way had been prepared by antiquarian researches, studies, and publications, was welcomed as a change, and a further one has since taken place, an endeavour being now made to bring that style into. Vogue, and establish it as the most suitable one for secular as well as ecclesiastical buildings, and, moreover, to introduce into it much of quite foreign character. The result of such attempt remains to be seen; yet, even if successful, it can be so only partially, for hardly ever can our anglo-italian be discarded from practice in our secular architecture. Hardly can the study of it be dispensed with were it regarded only as a matter of curiosity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
