Excerpt from Rudimentary Architecture: For the Use of Beginners, the History and Description of the Styles of Architecture of Various Countries, From the Earliest to the Present Period
There is, perhaps, no art or science which possesses more extensive or prolific means of instruction and entertainment, or which has greater claims on the consideration of the world at large, than that of Architecture. To consider properly and appreciate fully the importance of the art, we must first take its history from the earliest period, wherein we shall find that every invention has had its origin in the wants of man, and every improvement in the science of building has resulted from the requirements of various nations advancing towards a more powerful position or a higher degree of civilization.

Excerpt from Rudimentary Architecture: For the Use of Beginners, the History and Description of the Styles of Architecture of Various Countries, From the Earliest to the Present Period
There is, perhaps, no art or science which possesses more extensive or prolific means of instruction and entertainment, or which has greater claims on the consideration of the world at large, than that of Architecture.

The architecture of a country is therefore inseparable from its history; it is the external and enduring form of a people's habit - an index of their state of knowledge and social progress. But it may safely be asserted, that to the influence of religious systems is mainly to be attributed the advances and perfection in the arts of design and decoration, as well as their perpetuity to veneration for the purposes of their erection.
The present small work on the History of Architecture is intended to serve as an introduction to the study of the art, - to assist the student in the distinction and classification of the various styles which have been practised in different countries, - and to point out their derivation or application.
