Excerpt from The Characteristics of Styles: An Introduction to the Study of the History of Ornamental Art
The following Sketch is prepared chiefly as an introductory guide to aid in the adoption of some ready system in the study of Ornament. Though illustrated ornamental works exist in great profusion, they are generally on special monuments and localities, or extending only over very limited periods of time: and being, further, mostly of a purely illustrative character, without analytical description of the parts, they fail to impress on the mind of the Student those elements which arc the essential characteristics of the works, and distinguish their style. These characteristics, therefore, which are the very essence of the Art, are to he apprehended only by dint of great labour in the comparison of many costly publications, which, until lately, have been generally inaccessible even to the metropolitan Student. But with access to such works, some systematic general guide is absolutely indispensable to enable the Student to acquire a sound apprehension of his subject, with moderate labour, and within a moderate time.
The knowledge of ornamental style is, doubtless, most readily imparted in a course of lectures, in which, by numerous illustrations on a large scale, including occasionally the objects themselves, the peculiar features of each style can be at once pointed out, and fixed on the mind, through the facilities of immediate comparison.
