Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Rise and Development of Medieval Architecture, Vol. 1 of 2
The Lectures are naturally somewhat disconnected and having been written both at various times and for audiences often changing, may be found in some in stances to repeat the same facts and ideas, for which, as well as for too great a prolixity of style, I beg to apologise.
They were written with much zeal; and, thanks to my staff, and to my pupils, my sons, and others, they were magnificently and profusely illustrated; more so, perhaps, than any such Lectures had ever been before.
