SOME PRESS OPINIONS

“Besides being of inestimable value to the intelligent amateur, it should appeal also to all students, for it contains in brief nearly everything that he would have to extract for himself from more voluminous works.... The plates alone make it worthy of a place in every architect’s library.”—Art and Architecture.

“We cordially commend this volume to everyone who desires to be in a position to appreciate to the full extent the glories of Norman architecture, of which we in this country possess so many noble specimens.”—Scottish Review.

“To the person who, interested in the especial beauty of great buildings, would glean, even here at home, some eloquent idea of what he may never actually see, no book in point of adequate notes, of excellent illustrations, and cheapness, could well be more useful.”—Outlook.

“The beautiful illustrations alone make the book worthy of a place in the library of every book-lover and student of architecture.”—Aberdeen Free Press.

“The introductory chapters are lucid, simple, appreciative and well adapted to the understanding of the moderately intelligent amateur.... The illustrations are admirably chosen, well produced, and generally effective. The accompanying notes are clear, brief, and to the point.”—Guardian.

“Is written in a facile and personal style which makes it delightful to read and easy to understand.... The illustrations are extremely good and helpful in making doubly clear the teaching of the chapters.”—Bookman.
