Excerpt from A Dictionary of Architecture and Building, Vol. 3 of 3: Biographical, Historical, and Descriptive
The editor cannot close this synopsis of the work of several busy years without renewing his thanks to the contributors who have seconded him so cheerfully. The scheme of the Dictionary has never been disturbed or made difficult by any unwillingness on their part to conform to it. To one who thinks with the present writer that there is no evidence of thorough mastery of a subject more complete than a perfect willingness to present that subject in the form required by a special occasion, - than the absence of intellectual rigidity and a flexibility of spirit such as comes only from long-continued mental exercise, the evidence thus afl'orded of the unique merit of the Dictionary's staff of contributors is most complete and convincing.
