Book Details

First Sentence

"THE influence of the grand old style of Classical Art clung so tenaciously to the soil of Italy, that it would be extremely difficult to determine when the modern epoch really commenced, were it not for the two great test enumerated above:-First, that all buildings of the modern styles are, or must at least attempt to be, copies of some more ancient building, or in some more ancient and obsolete style; and, secondly, that they must be the production of one individual mind, and of that mind only."
