GOTHIC ORNAMENTS. By J. K. COLLING, Architect. In 2 vols. royal
4to., price 7_l._ 10_s._, in appropriate cloth binding, containing
209 Plates, nearly 50 of which illustrate the existing finely
painted and gilt decorations of the Cathedrals and Churches of the
Middle Ages. The work may be also had in numbers, price 3_s._, or
in parts, together or separately.
"The completion of this elaborate work affords us an opportunity
of doing justice to its great merits. It was necessary to the
appreciation of the characteristics and the beauties of Gothic
architecture, that some more extensive series of illustrations
should be given to the world. Until the appearance of this work,
that of Pugin was the only one of any importance and
accuracy."--_Architectural Quarterly Review._
"'The Gothic Ornaments' constitutes a gorgeous work, illustrated
by gold and colour, giving correct ideas of the magnificence of
the original examples, of which the unilluminated works afford but
a scanty conception."--_Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal._
