Excerpt from Three Lectures on Architecture in England, From the Earliest to the Present Time
The following Lectures were read at Northampton, before the Society for the Diffusion of Religious and Useful Knowledge. Being quite elementary, the descriptions are short, and the illustrations few, in outline only, and confined almost entirely to the most prominent and peculiar features of the various styles of Architecture which have prevailed in England from the earliest to the present times. The world abounds with illustrated works upon the subject; and, among others, the Oxford Glossary and companion to it, may be mentioned as forming the most complete picture of the Architecture of our own country, from the first down to the Elizabethan age, that has appeared in modem times, and within the compass of three small volumes. To that excellent work the following Lectures, which contain more of the history than the description of Architecture, may be found useful as an Introduction.
