The author atempts to set forth the development and character of Gothic architecture, he use's the term 'Gothic', because it has been established by custom to designate the architecture of the late Middle Ages as distinguished from that of ancient and early mediaeval times; and because, since it was owing to the infusion of Northern genius that the style was brought into being, it is not an entirely inappropriate term.
