It is not only that the extraordinary abundance of his illustrations gives him a special advantage over all his rivals or predecessors, but no other writer has ever had so firm a grasp of his subject, or has been so well qualified to deal with it in all its branches."- Saturday Review. "Mr. Fergusson has classed the styles in historical order, and has deduced their genealogy, step by step, and told us not only what was, but how it came to be, and his work is the most comprehensive and original that has ever appeared."-Quarterly Review. The new edition of Mr. Fergusson's History of Architecture is a monument of erudition, taste, and ingenious reasoning."-Edinburgh Review. "The best comprehensive account of architecture extant in any language. The conciseness, yet clearness of the style, shows the author to be thorough master of his subject, and the excellence and number of the illustrations make it a book which must find a place on the shelves of every architect's library."-Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal. "A work which those who have travelled, and to whom the greater part of the buildings cited are well known, will appreciate, either to refresh their memories, or for the purpose of comparison, and one which will be even more valuable to those who have never wandered from home, and who find here a conveniently accessible storehouse of information."—Christian Remembrancer.

But it is not by the most intimate knowledge of the monuments of one county, or of one country either, that the general question can be decided. This needs a wider knowledge, which no one has possessed in such a degree, or has used so well, as Mr. Fergusson."-Times. 12446 GAILHABAUD (Jules) MONUMENTS ANCIENS et MODERNES, 4 vols. royal 4to. 400 plates (pub. £15. sd.) 12447 Paris, 1850 1865-70 the same, 4 vols. impl. 4to. 400 plates, sd. £6.
