architecture in England.

"His guiding principle was his belief in Gothic architecture, and his
reputation lies in his chronological position as a Gothic artist. It
may almost be said that he was the first to reduce to axioms the
fundamental relationship of structure and ornament in architecture."

"Mr. Street...is an English architect wholly devoted to the Gothic re-
vival, and the builder of many important buildings. The drawings
of the author are valuable and the numerous detailed plans of
churches are undoubtedly trustworthy." Russell Sturgis.

The author calls this "a book for architects and the public," and in
his chapters on "Church architecture," "State and municipal architec-
ture" and "Domestic architecture" he summarizes recent achievements,
and what is still required. The chapter on "Street architecture" con-
tains interesting suggestions of what may be accomplished by treating
as a whole the different house fronts in a block of city houses.

The

Renaissance

ANDERSON, William James.

Architecture of the renaissance in Italy. 1896...

...b724.1 A55

List of books relating to the Italian renaissance, p.148-150.
"Deals with the real Renaissance, with the 16th century, with the period
from Brunelleschi to Palladio. It is based on lectures given before
the Glasgow School of Art, and has, as the author observes, 'a rudi-
mentary and popular character' which recommends it to the untechni-
cal reader. It is further very fully illustrated with excellent pictures."
Dial, 1898.

BELCHER, John, & Macartney, M.E. ed.

Later renaissance architecture in England; a series of exam-
ples of the domestic buildings erected subsequent to the
Elizabethan period. 2v. 1901
...qb724.1 B39

No attempt has been made to classify the examples illustrated, which
have been selected solely to show the adaptability of renaissance archi-
tecture to modern buildings, large or small, public or domestic. There
are many plans, elevations, measured drawings and views, the latter
from fine photographs taken expressly for this work.

BLOMFIELD, Reginald.

History of renaissance architecture in England, 1500-1800.
2v. 1897.....

Contains chapters on Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren.
"Authorities consulted," v.1, p.15-19.

.qb724.1 B55

The author undertakes to give a consecutive account of renaissance
architecture in England, beginning with the first attempts of Italian
workmen in England under Henry VIII and closing with the end of
the 18th century, when architects abandoned Italian models and de-
voted themselves to the revivals of other styles. For description he
has selected buildings of historical importance, or such of the many
private edifices of that period as best illustrate the development of
the style.

Abridgment of the author's larger standard work on the same subject.
Interesting to the general reader as well as the special student.

GOTCH, John Alfred.

Early renaissance architecture in England; a historical & de-
scriptive account of the Tudor, Elizabethan & Jacobean pe-

riods, 1500-1625, for the use of students and others. 1901..b724.1 G71e
List of selected works on early renaissance architecture in England,
p. 267-270.

"Deals with much the same period as that covered by my former work
The Architecture of the Renaissance in England, but with the addi-
tion of the first half of the sixteenth century. The two books, how-
ever, have nothing in common beyond the fact that they both illustrate
the work of a particular period. The former book exhibits a series
of examples, to a large scale, of Elizabethan and Jacobean buildings,
with a brief account of each: whereas this one takes the form of a

hand-book in which the endeavour is made to trace in a systematic
manner the development of style from the close of the Gothic period
down to the advent of Inigo Jones." Preface.

..qb724.1 J411

"A small quarto book, with some very valuable illustrations of buildings
of the Classical Revival in England. The author is a clergyman who
has written much about London and architectural art in England.
His purpose in the present work is to urge the great superiority in the
way of delicate proportion of the art of Jones, Wren, and their suc-
cessors, and to protest against the revived Gothic as he saw it in Eng-
land during the years previous to the publication of the book. The
book must be taken as the interesting presentation of one side only
of an important question that involves an historical account of building
in England since 1550." Russell Sturgis.

Jones (1573-1652) was a celebrated English architect. Among his prin-
cipal works were the banquet hall at Whitehall, Covent Garden piazza,
Raynham hall, Ashburnham house and the reconstruction of St. Paul's
cathedral.

"The drawings are well made, and exhibit all that is characteristic in the
work with the greatest clearness... Perspective sketches...in black and
white will appeal strongly to the layman, while the details, and espe-
cially the sections of mouldings drawn to a large scale, will be of both

value and interest to architects. While not pretending to be a com-
plete record of the existing works of Jones... the drawings contained
in the book exhibit very acceptably many of his most important build-
ings." Nation, 1901.

"In estimating the effect which Pugin's efforts, both as an artist and
an author produced on the Gothic Revival, the only danger lies in
the possibility of overrating their worth. The man...who fanned into
a flame the smouldering fire of ecclesiastical sentiment which had been
slowly kindled in this country-whose very faith was pledged to
Mediæval tradition-such a writer and such an architect will not
easily be forgotten, so long as the æsthetic principles which he advo-
cated are recognised and maintained." Eastlake's Gothic revival in
England.
