Introduction To The Study Of Gothic Architecture

Reprint of the original, first published in 1874.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Gothic Architecture French or any other foreign style. This is true to a certain extent, but at the time that the Gothic style was developed, England and France were so closely connected together that it is impossible to believe that one did not in uence the other; and this work is not intended for architects so much as for their employers, the gentry and clergy of England, to whom some knowledge of this subject has become a necessary part of education. They are naturally more interested in the historical than in the practical view of architecture, and the connection between England and foreign coun tries adds greatly to the interest of a study which has a singular fascination for many minds.
