Note 93 — LECTURE IX. On the Study and Practice of Gothic Architecture.

I cannot but feel that our glass painters fail grievously in real progress. Even those who are really acquainted with their art too frequently so scamper over it as to render their figures and subjects mere caricatures. The majority really know nothing about their art, and these are the favourites with the public! Another section, who really understand what art is, and are able to practise it, proudly set at naught its harmony with the architecture in which it is set. (G. G. S. 1878.)
