To the late William J. A nderson, of Glasgow, is due the conception of this work. The course of lectures which, on the invitation of the Governors of theS chool of Art in that city, he delivered in 1893-94 on the Architecture of the Renaissance in Italy (published in 1896), was followed in 1896-97 by a course on the History and Development of Greek A rchitecture.
