Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Among the most influential figures of the Gothic Revival in
nineteenth-century Britain, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin
(1812-52) distinguished himself as an architect, author and
interior designer. His illustrated lectures on ecclesiastical
design were first published in 1841 and are reissued here with An
Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England
(1843). Reflecting the influence of the author's conversion to
Catholicism, the works discuss a range of architectural features,
their functions and where they should be implemented. Pugin also
outlines, with some amusement, the dangers of executing designs
that do not follow his principles. The highly detailed
illustrations are drawn with an architect's precision, showing both
realised and unrealised designs. Contrasts (revised second edition,
1841), Pugin's most famous work, is also reissued in this series.
Together, these publications remain essential reading for those
seeking to understand the growth of the Gothic Revival.
