"The author of one of the noblest architectural works of modern times. His 'Architectural Parallels' are worthy of the best days of art, and show care and knowledge of no common kind. All his lesser works have been marked in their degree by the same careful and honest spirit. His attempt to discriminate our architecture into periods and assign to it a new nomenclature, is therefore entitled to considerable respect."—Guardian.
