“This little work does for architecture in relation to English poetry what Mr. Phil Robinson has done for the birds and beasts. The poet’s appreciation of architecture is a delightful subject with which Mr. Statham has become infected, not only illustrating his points with quotations and his judgments with his reasons, but the whole with a series of fanciful or suggestive sketches which add considerably to the attractiveness of the book.”—The Magazine of Art.
