*\N ENCYCLOP/EDIA OF ARCHITECTURE j 



Historical, Theoretical, and Practical. By Joseph Gwilt, Esq. F.S.A. Illustrated with 

 upwards of 1000 Engravings on Wood, from Designs by J. S. Gwilt. In 1 thick vol. 8vo. 

 (1842), containing 1100 pages, compactly and beautifully printed, 21. 12s. 6rf. cloth. 

 " This elaborate and learned work constitutes a complete body of architecture, and gives 

 tuch information concerning its history, theory, and practice, as students and practitioners 

 should acquire, and which the amateur and general reader may wish to refer to. The vast 

 mass of matter is admirably arranged, put into a condensed and clear form, nnd illustratrd 

 with wood cuts that of themselves are valuable examples independently of the text. The 

 history of architecture from the earliest ages it traced through various countries and periods, 

 and the relations of the several styles to each other are distinctly shewn ; this portion may be 

 read throughout at a complete treatise. Mr. Gwilt is eminently qualified for this laborious 

 task, which he has executed with ability and con amore. The Glossary alone is a dictionary 

 of architecture sufficient for casual use, and it includes a chronological list of architects with 

 their principal edifices, as well at a classified catalogue of workt on the subject - an index 

 completes the value of the book as one of reference. The engravings are beautifully 

 executed." Spectator, Nov. 19, 1842.
