Excerpt from A History of Architecture in London, Arranged to Illustrate the Course of Architecture in England Until 1800
Romanesque merging into transitional architecture, and so on to Gothic, in various developments of which the English showed themselves to be masters. Thence we are introduced to the Renaissance, which, springing up in Italy, as the Romanesque had first sprung, in the course of a few years led to such wonderful changes in architecture, simultaneously with upheavals as great in painting, science, and literature.
