1892. In sending out this essay, the author asks for indulgence. In
the first place, because this is, so far as was known to him, the
only attempt to set out, from an architect's point of view, the
basis of certain ideas common in the architecture of many lands and
religions, the purposes behind the structure and form which may be
called the esoteric principles of architecture. And secondly, for
an attempt to deal with a subject that could only be rightly
handled by one having the equipment of a wide scholarship.
