Excerpt from The Retrospective Review, Vol. 10

Since the publication of Grose's Works, the subject has been more attentively considered; but the information is too widely scattered to be collected here. The most distinguished among the writers is Doctor Milner; who contends not only that it was not introduced here from the Saracens, but that the Gothic arch arose from the perforation of the intersecting round arch; that this led to a long and narrow form of window and arch, and pro ressively to the cluster columns, Ste. 8tc.; he agrees wi the late John Carter not only in thinking it original, but English.
