Reseña del editor:

Excerpt from The Stepping-Stone to Architecture: Consisting of a Series of Questions and Answers Explaining in Simple Language the Principles and Progress of Architecture From the Earliest Times

Tms little work is compiled with the view of creating a taste in the mind of the young for the noblest of the Arts.

It is obviously impossible, in a work of this size, that all detail should be minutely described, or even mentioned; but it is hoped that enough is given to make the learner wish to know more: and if this result follows, the object of the Author will be accomplished.
