Essays On Gothic Architecture by Thomas Warton; J. Bentham; Captain Grose; J. Milner. This collection surveys the history and styles of English ecclesiastical architecture from the Saxon to the Gothic, explaining the origins of the circular Saxon and the later Norman and pointed-arch traditions. It includes Warton’s argument for naming the style more appropriately and discusses the differences between Saxon, Norman, and the later Florid Gothic. The volume presents prefatory notes by Bentham and Milner, and Grose’s observations, together with plates illustrating ornaments drawn from ancient churches and cathedrals. The essays cover the rise and transformation of cathedrals such as Salisbury, Lincoln, York, Durham, and Westminster, tracing features like arches, columns, vaulting, tracery, fenestration, and tower design. The second edition (1802) expands with a list of English cathedrals and their dimensions, accompanied by new plates to aid study, and aims to illuminate how medieval architecture expresses the sacred sublime.
