Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Gothic Architecture
HE present edition has been carefully revised and considerably enlarged. The parts intended for the use of beginners are printed in larger type; these consist of the description of the characteristic features of each of the styles in succession, with illustrative engravings on wood, to which descriptions have been added, to make the technical terms more intelligible. A Glossary is also added for the use of children and beginners in the study. The part of the work printed in smaller type is chiefly historical, and intended for the use of more advanced students. The book is one of facts, not of theories or fancies. Some persons may think it dry, as matter-of-fact is apt to be con sidered by those who are fond of speculation: but the facts here collected afford ample room for further in vestigation, and for theorizing within certain limits, that is, so far as the theories based upon them are consistent with the facts.
