Excerpt from A Short History of Renaissance Architecture in England, 1500-1800
IN preparing this abridgment of my larger history I have endeavoured to supply the architectural student with a concise account of Renaissance architecture in England from 1500 to 1800. Extensive knowledge of detail is, in my opinion, of less importance to the student than a clear grasp of the historical development of this movement. When he has mastered its general drift and the actual causes which determined its modi fications, his own observation will supply examples, which will fall naturally into their historical place. I have accordingly retained only such'instances as appear to me to have an im mediate bearing on the subject; and for fuller information as to facts and authorities and for some account of the architectural literature of the period, I must refer the student to my larger history. I have added plates of Palladio's orders, taken from Fréart's Parallel, on account Of their great technical import ance in the architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
