Excerpt from The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture: Set Forth in Two Lectures Delivered at St. Marie's, Oscott
We shall have therefore to consider ornament with reference to con struction and convenience, and ornament with reference to architectural propriety. Construction must be subdivided and treated under three dis tinct heads, - stone, timber, and metal; brick might indeed be added but as the principles of its construction are similar to those of stone, I shall not make any distinction; and as for plaster, when used for any other purpose than coating walls, it is a mere modern deception, and the trade is not worthy of a distinction.
