on the comparative Method. For students, craftsmen & amateurs.
Fourteenth edition. Revised with over four thousand illustrations.
This books aims at displaying clearly the characteristic features of the architecture of each country by comparing the buildings of each period and by giving due prominence to the influences - geographical, geological, climatic, religious, social, and historical - which have contributed to the formation of particular styles, and which hitherto have not been emphasised systematically in presenting the story of architectural development.
