PREFACE

With one exception, namely the last Paper in the Collection, whichappeared in the Fortnightly Review, all these Essays were printed inthe St. James’s Gazette during the editorship of Mr. Greenwood. TheEssay on “Architectural Styles” contains a summary of principles which Istated, some thirty years ago, in various Articles, chiefly in theEdinburgh Review. As this Essay now stands, I hope that readers, whohave knowledge enough to enable them to judge, will find in it anexample of the kind of criticism which I have advocated earlier in thevolume.
