Synopsis

Excerpt from The Architectural Director: Being a Guide to Builders, Draughtsman, Students, Workmen, in the Study, Design, and Execution of Architecture

In illustration of the historical portion of the work, the examples furnished by Italy have been offered. These are not given as copies for servile imitation, nor are they supposed to be entirely exempt from faults; neither must it be forgotten that our climate, mate rials, and customs, often prescribe other forms than those which they exhibit. The liberty has been taken of divesting them of everything that might be considered injurious to their good effect.
