EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES 



A/kenaeum. — What an accomplished architect writes on the history of his art 

 must always be interesting, and Sir Thomas Jackson long ago proved 



that he is a scholar as well as an artist The author's aim is to instruct 



by the study of the past, to explain as well as to describe. All that, as 

 one turns over the two handsome volumes, is obvious ; it is obvious also 



that the aim is achieved He has produced a very interesting as well 



as a beautiful book. 



Outlook. — -In two handsome volumes, profusely illustrated by drawings, 

 photographs, and diagrams. Sir Thos. Jackson has traced the history of 



Byzantine and Romanesque styles to the advent of the Gothic The 



book has literary qualities of a very high order, and is one of the most 

 readable we have ever read. A master of his subject, Sir Thos. Jackson 



has a gift of clear and felicitous expression This fine work cannot be 



praised too highly. 



Britisti Arcliited. — By his simple, lucid style and the wide range of his 



subjects Sir T. G. Jackson has provided a large and most valuable 



contribution to the history of architecture, which we can hardly imagine 

 is likely to be displaced by anything else. The whole format of the 

 volumes is excellent, the size and shape of them, the beautiful type, and 

 the excellent illustrations. 



Westminster Gazette. — Sir Thomas Jackson's drawings are a charming com- 

 promise between architect's and artist's work So with his comment. 



He gives us what is in effect a caialogjie raisojinl oi the chief buildings — 

 a thing invaluable to the student — but he is mercifully sparing of techni- 

 calities, and the whole work may be read with pleasure. 



Morning Post. — Sir Thomas Jackson always writes not only like a practical 



architect but like a scholar and a connoisseur His wide knowledge of 



history and literature enables him to set the subject he is dealing with in 

 its context, as it were, and to view it as part of the scheme of culture of 



that epoch These two volumes are worthy of the close attention of 



everyone interested in architecture. 



Standard. — Sir Thomas Jackson writes with not less enlightenment than 



authority To the general reader wdth only the remotest knowledge 



of architecture the book cannot fail to be absorbingly interesting.
