A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN GRECIAN, ROMAN, ITALIAN, AND GOTHIC
ARCHITECTURE. The Fifth Edition enlarged, exemplified by 1700 Woodcuts.
"In the Preparation of this the Fifth Edition of the Glossary of
Architecture, no pains have been spared to render it worthy of
the continued patronage which the work has received from its
first publication.
"The Text has been considerably augmented, as well by the
additions of many new Articles, as by the enlargement of the old
ones, and the number of Illustrations has been increased from
eleven hundred to seventeen hundred.
"Several additional Foreign examples are given, for the purposes
of comparison with English work, of the same periods.
"In the present Edition, considerably more attention has been
given to the subject of Mediæval Carpentry, the number of
Illustrations of 'Open Timber Roofs' has been much increased,
and most of the Carpenter's terms in use at the period have been
introduced with authorities."--_Preface to the Fifth Edition._
