The Architectural Magazine, 1838, Vol. 5: And Journal of Improvement in Architecture, Building, and Furnishing (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Architectural Magazine, 1838, Vol. 5: And Journal of Improvement in Architecture, Building, and Furnishing
The great object of the Architectural Magazine has been, to render the subject of Architecture familiar to the general reader or, in other words, to give it popularity. Accordingly, the volumes already published embrace every department of Architecture, both as an Art of Design and Taste, and as an Art of Construction; they may be considered as including a popular view of all the leading features of Architecture and Building. The work, therefore, in its present limited extent, is more likely to be extensively read, than if it had been carried on to an indefinite number of volumes.
The Architectural Magazine consists of a collection of papers, the object of which is to render Architecture familiar to the general reader; and, by this means, to diffuse such a knowledge of the subject, both as an Art of Design and Taste, and as one of Construction, as shall form a solid foundation for the progress of architectural improve ment. Every accession of knowledge is an increase of enjoyment; and, by instructing the eye in the exterior forms and ornaments of buildings, and in the materials and principles of their construction, a new source of pleasure will be opened up. Besides this, a more inti mate knowledge of Architecture and Furniture will not only produce increased domestic comforts, by enabling all householders to detect defective arrangements, imperfections of construction, and inefficient modes of lighting, warming, and ventilating, but will enable them to perceive where improvements may be best made in the department of fitting up and furnishing.
