Sinopsis

Excerpt from Rudimentary Architecture: For the Use of Beginners, the History and Description of the Styles of Architecture of Various Countries, From the Earliest to the Present Period

There is, perhaps, no art or science which possesses more extensive or prolific means of instruction and entertainment, or which has greater claims on the consideration of the world at large, than that of Architecture. To consider properly and appreciate fully the importance of the art, we must first take its history from the earliest period, wherein we shall find that every invention has had its origin in the wants of man, and every improvement in the science of building has resulted from the requirements of various nations advancing towards a more powerful position or a higher degree of civilization.
