Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Architectural Styles: Translated From the German The present volume, an English translation of a hand-book of Architectural Styles, well known and appreciated in Germany, deserves the attention of those many English readers for whom the study of architecture possesses attractions. Its claims rest partly on the comprehensive range which the Author has taken, and the large amount of information which he has been able to condense into small compass; but chie y in the fact that a familiar subject is here looked at from what, at least to the English readers, may now be called an almost new point of view.' Before, however, adding anything in elucidation of this state ment, the Editor desires to disclaim more than the most moderate share in the merits of the present work. His duties have been strictly confined to a revision of the technical language of the translation, so as to insure its accuracy in matters with which an architect alone could be expected to be familiar. The literary merits of the English version belong entirely to the gentleman who has, with much care, acted as translator, and with whose work the Editor has not ventured to interfere, except where it appeared to him that the English equivalent conveying the exact force of some architectural words or phrases employed in the original, could be better rendered.
