Excerpt from The Open Timber Roofs of the Middle Ages: Illustrated by Perspective and Working Drawings of Some of the Best Varieties of Church Roofs; With Descriptive Letter-Press
Doubtless he will have to record incidents of a more startling nature, and social and political revolutions of more universal interest; but the page of history, though it may recount all these, and be further charged with the wonders in art, the giant strides in science, and the miracles which the genius of man has performed, will yet possess no fairer characters than those which narrate the glorious improvement in Church Architecture, and the greatly better ordering of God's Temples.
