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.

One of the leading exponents of the nineteenth century's Gothic
Revival, the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-78) most
famously designed the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens and the
Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras. In the design and restoration of
churches and cathedrals, his work was distinguished by its care,
skill and sheer volume: most medieval cathedrals in England and
Wales, including Westminster Abbey, benefited from Scott's
expertise in some form. Written between 1864 and his death, then
edited by his son and fellow architect George Gilbert Scott
(1839-97), this 1879 autobiography was among the first of its kind,
recording the background, career and opinions of a prolific
professional architect. Moreover, the work includes a defence of
Scott's principles against what he saw as the 'anti-restoration
movement', led by John Ruskin and others. Altogether, these lucid
memoirs confirm Scott's place at the centre of Victorian design.
