Sinopsis
Excerpt from An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of Architecture in England, From the Conquest to the Reformation
As a text-book for the architectural student, little need be said of this publication. The want of such a work, particularly as it respects the English styles, is generally acknowledged; and it has been the aim of the Author, by a constant reference to buildings, to instil the principles of practice rather than mere theoretical knowledge.

Excerpt from An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of Architecture in England, From the Conquest to the Reformation
The practical value of this work has now been so long established, and is so well known, that it is only necessary to mention the alterations which have been made in the present edition.
The text of Mr. Rickman's last edition has been scrupulously preserved, the additional matter being inserted between brackets, or as foot notes. Several years having elapsed since the last edition was published, and those years having been remarkable for a very great and rapid extension of the study of Gothic Architecture, it might be expected that great changes would have been required in this work, which was the first systematic treatise on the subject in any language, and formed the original basis and ground of the study. But notwithstanding the numerous works which have appeared within the last five or six years, it is surprising to observe how very little real information has been added to that which Mr. Rickman collected and digested. The general accuracy of his observations, and the acuteness with which he made use of the facts he had collected, are really quite wonderful, considering that he was the first to examine the ground, and may be said to have invented a new science.
