Synopsis
Excerpt from Rudimentary Architecture for the Use of Beginners, and Students: The Orders, and Their Ęsthetic Principles
As prefaces are very seldom read, the above escapade will probably escape all but those who will be far too discreet to take any notice of it. And as prefaces are usually ignored, it is chiefly for form sake here stated, that excepting the additional chapters on Supercolumniation, and Anthropomorphic Pillars, this edition is nearly a reprint of the first one. It is indeed further augmented by an Appendix containing two or three detached articles, which, if not exactly in keeping with the character of an Elementary' Treatise - as it must be con fessed, is the case, they being in themselves more or less polemical, disquisitorial, and critical do not at all interfere with the Treatise itself. Besides which it is to be hoped that those who shall not merely have perused, but carefully studied what is said of the Orders,' will be prepared for comprehend ing and taking an interest in the more discursive criticism which has been here thrown into the shape of an Appendix.
