The seventh edition of this fascinating work, which established a chronological classification of the architectural eras in the country.First published in 1817, this was the first systematic treatise on Gothic architecture and a milestone in the Gothic Revival. The terminology Rickman used in this work is still in widespread use for the different styles of English medieval ecclesiastical architecture.Illustrated with thirty-five plates, and further vignette illustrations. Collated, complete.With eight pages of advertisements to the rear.A lovely copy of this work from architect and antiquary Thomas Rickman.

During his long career he taught at the University of Edinburgh School of Architecture, Canterbury School of Architecture, and University of Nottingham. Later in his life he was the Vice-President and Honorary Librarian of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and contributed and edited the "Journal of Architecture".
