There is a strong plea in Mr. Buckmaster’s preface for the study of historical architecture in our elementary schools. “Though this historian of architecture does no more than merely to outline the various styles and briefly to trace their development, he does this in such untechnical, though not over-picturesque language, that those who read his text to the end will wish to learn more about architecture and in greater detail.” (Outlook.)
[*] “As a popular elementary text-book on the history of architecture this little book is certainly welcome. It is brightly and clearly written.”

[*] “It would probably have been better had the author dealt with one period of architecture, and have done that thoroughly, rather than have taken up so large a field. It has resulted in an essay which is ‘scrappy.’”
