PRINCIPLE IN ART ETC.


BY C O V E N T R Y P A T M O R E LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS, YORK STREET, COVENT GARDEN 1889


With one exception, namely the last Paper in the Collection, which appeared in the Fortnightly Review , all these Essays were printed in the St. James’s Gazette during the editorship of Mr. Greenwood. The Essay on “Architectural Styles” contains a summary of principles which I stated, some thirty years ago, in various Articles, chiefly in the Edinburgh Review . As this Essay now stands, I hope that readers, who have knowledge enough to enable them to judge, will find in it an example of the kind of criticism which I have advocated earlier in the volume.
