About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Architecture and Archaeology of the Middle Ages: Including Words Used by Ancient and Modern Authors in Treating of Architectural and Other Antiquities Also, Biographical Notices of Ancient Architects

IN announcing the present Dictionary for publication, some years ago, it was asserted that such a work was a desideratum in literature but, when that assertion was made, the author was not fully aware of the difficulty and labour which were involved in its execution. Could he have anticipated these, he would have shrunk from the task; for, although he has generally found his courage and zeal increase with augmented responsibilities, he has repeatedly felt oppressed, and almost disheartened, by the tedious progress and incessant assiduity required for this Dictionary. Ardent, however, in temperament, - intensely anxious to fulfil every pledge made to the public, - fully aware that the critical eye is ever open to the negligences and ignorances of writers; and also that, with the increased knowledge in, and growing partiality for, this species of literature, there'is a constant readiness to cater for it, either by meritorious or meretricious speculators, the author has laboured onward in his toilsome journey, buoyed up by the hope of living to see the word finis, and of making his last to equal, if not to surpass, his former works.
