“Mr. Moore’s book is an honor to American scholarship and investigation, and deserves the widest circulation among readers who possess any interest in what he succeeds in making a most interesting subject.”—Boston Daily Advertiser.
“While the more appreciative readers of this volume will be found among students of architecture, no reader of taste or culture will find its pages without interest.”—The Transcript, Boston.
“A very intelligent and sufficiently lucid discussion of fundamental principles ... distinguished by a clear, logical precision of statement, and by a boldness, and not unfrequently by an originality of deduction, such as cannot be found in the works of European scholars ... lucid enough to commend themselves even to readers unfamiliar with the technical side of the subject. To such readers, also, the orderly development of the argument, the frequent, graphic illustrations, ... and above all, the exhaustive index, cannot fail to serve at once as an invitation to enter upon a charming field of study, and an inducement to stay until the last words are said.”—The Atlantic Monthly.
