Synopsis
Excerpt from Essentials in Architecture: An Analysis of the Principles Qualities to Be Looked for in Buildings
Architecture has not yet found its true and proper place as a subject of popular interest, in spite of the fact that it may be made one Of the most fascinating of pursuits and fill a gap just where literature, painting, and music fail.
In the first place, it meets us on our travels, and Often provides an objective for our walks or our tours.
In the next place, examples for study abound both at home and abroad, and, though thoroughly good examples worthy of careful and prolonged investigation are not so general, yet such when found will repay many a visit.
