Reseña del editor

Professor Donaldson, to whom the Editor begs thus publicly to express his cordial thanks; he has greatly increased the value of this useful summary of a subject which is in danger of being forgotten altogether, but of which some knowledge is essential for the proper understanding of the Medieval styles, which were gradually developed from the Bora an. The chapter on A nglo-S axon architecture, which was thrown into an Appendix in the previous editions, has now been introduced in its proper place, between the Roman and the Norman styles, with large additions. Mr. Rickman s Tour in Normandy and Picardy in 1832, first published in the twentyfifth volume of the A rchceologia, and appended to some editions of this work, has now been omitted as not necessary, the substance of his observations and large extracts being given in the list of Foreign Examples. THE TUHL, OXFOBD, July 1, 1862.
