Quotations containing allusions to and descriptions of architecture,
selected from English poetry, with commentary by Mr Statham.

"To succeed in such a compilation as this the writer must be well read
and a good judge of poetry and Mr. Statham evidently possesses both
qualifications." Athenæum, 1898.

"Treats the essential truths of architecture in the order of the subjects
and not historically except in a secondary sense. Trabeated architec-
ture is distinguished from that which is arcuated; a chapter being
devoted to each. A valuable chapter is devoted to architecture in rela-
tion to cities and landscapes. There is also an historical sketch occu-
pying 120 pages.
The book can be trusted as sound and intelligent
and may be of great use to a person inclined to study the subject
thoroughly." Russell Sturgis.

The imprint is Amstelodami, apud Ludovicum Elzevirium.
"Michelangelo...and earlier architects were careful students of Vitru-
vius's work, which through them has largely influenced the architec-
ture of almost all European countries down to the present [nineteenth]
century, a very remarkable instance of the success and influence of
a book being actively redeveloped a very long time-about fifteen
centuries after its author's lifetime." Prof. J. H. Middleton.

Woods (1776-1864) was an English architect, the founder of the London
architectural society, and its first president.

"The work has illustrations by the author which are good in drawing
but poor in color and chiaroscuro; the text evinces considerable critical
taste and judgment." Dictionary of national biography.

EIDLITZ, Leopold.

Nature and function of art, more especially of architecture. 1881

.720.1 E39 .b720.1 E39

Author (1823-96) was a prominent architect of New York city. Two-
thirds of his book is given to architecture, pure and simple, ideas,
monuments, construction, proportion, treatment of masses, style, etc.
The rest deals with definitions of art. Mr Eidlitz had strong convic-
tions and was a vigorous controversialist.

"It is the object of this volume to inquire into the causes of the
present condition of architecture; to define the nature and functions
of art in general, and of architecture in particular, in order to show
how architecture may again become a living and creative art." Preface.

MORRIS, William.

Architecture and history, and Westminster abbey. 1900...720.1 M91
Of the paper on Westminster abbey Mr J. W. Mackail says: "Another
utterance which has had little public circulation, but which gives his
best literary qualities-his power of lucid statement, his immense and
easily-wielded knowledge of architecture and history, his earnestness,
his humour, and his mastery of biting phrase-with a perfection that
is hardly equalled elsewhere."

Printed at the Chiswick press from the golden type designed by William
Morris for the Kelmscott press.

Begun in 1852, the earlier articles have in many cases been rendered
obsolete by later discoveries and information. It contains many im-
portant and elaborate essays on historical and technical subjects, and
until the publication of Sturgis's Dictionary was the only important
work of the kind in English.

"Attempts to combine in one thick volume a history of the art, the
mathematics which the practitioner is supposed to require, some
knowledge of statics and mechanics, and many pages of directions as
to practice, together with a very full bibliography and a glossary of
terms used in architecture, which covers nearly 200 pages. It is, there-
fore, not without value, and reference to it will far more often be useful
than misleading. What it most lacks, perhaps, is delicacy of distinc-
tion in the account of architectural styles. As to the practical part,
one cannot make himself an architect by studying a book or many
books, but many questions that arise may be answered by reference
to these pages." Russell Sturgis.

"The first and the second lectures are a plea for Gothic architecture
and the revival of that style in modern times. The theory, insisted
upon in 'Stones of Venice'... appears here again; namely that the
sculptured ornament of a building is its greatest and only important
feature, artistically considered. The third lecture is on Turner, the

landscape painter, the artist to whose art the greater part of 'Modern
Painters'...is devoted. The fourth lecture is on the subject of
Pre-Raphaelitism." Russell Sturgis.

"This book was first published in 1849; it is a marvelous piece of work
for a man under thirty; compact and vigorous in thought, imaginative
-a real poem without metre-superbly written, with sustained strength
and flexible adaptation of language to thought. As a book of art criti-
cism, it is of no value. The architecture it treats of is a dream, a
conception of the writer, having no connection with the actual Gothic
buildings of Europe, upon a close study of which it is supposed to be
founded." Russell Sturgis.

"The work of a practising architect, formerly of Boston, now settled in
the West, and who is yet a seeker for the spiritual or esoteric meaning
in every work of art. In one important respect his criticism differs
from that of most critical writers of fine art, namely, that he finds far
more that is good in modern architectural work than they." Russell
Sturgis.

"There is nowhere a more masterly treatise on architectural art. Its
inmost secrets are known to this able writer who sees what is strong
and what is weak in every style, and makes it clear to his readers.
He is also a master of explanatory and descriptive drawing. No other
such illustrations of architectural subjects as those in his books are
known." Russell Sturgis.
