Preface
WITHIN the limits of a small work of this kind it is not possible to do more than outline the various styles of Architecture, and to trace briefly their development. The subject is, however, of so much importance that a good purpose may be served by an elementary text-book on simple lines and of not too technical a character. A list of reference books will be found on p. xi of this volume for those who wish to study the subject in further detail. The easy conditions of travel at the present time, and the prospect in the near future of even greater facilities, should make all thoughtful people eager to acquire some knowledge of Architecture, so that nothing of interest in this great art may be lost when visiting cities remarkable for their buildings .either at home or abroad.

To the young in particular, whether at home or at school, it is hoped this book will be useful. It is indeed surprising that in most of our great public schools no provision whatever is made for the future Architectural student, whereas the best teaching and equipment is as a rule provided for boys destined to enter the engineering profession; the youthful architect, however, has to begin his special training after he has left school and the University.
