2 works in one vol. 8vo., with an engraved frontispiece and 13 engraved plates (first work) and 23 engraved plates (second work), some very light spotting (mainly marginal) on plates; handsomely bound in twentieth century half calf, marbled boards, back ruled, tooled and lettered in gilt, a highly attractive bright, crisp copy, ideal as a gift or for presentation. Since the binding is lettered only for the Rickman it is possible that a previous owner did not realise that TWO important works are present here (the latter, unnamed, work being much the scarcer).Rickman provided the first systematic treatise on Gothic architecture in England. Its influence was profound, for his terminology was employed by virtually all subsequent writers; much of it, indeed, is still current today. First published in 1817 in Liverpool (where the present issue was compiled), one of its most valuable features was its descriptive list of (over 800) extant buildings illustrating the principles of English architecture and helpfully arranged by county. In this updated edition the number of buildings is greatly enlarged. Kendall's VERY SCARCE analysis is based on the ornaments, arches, columns etc., of Exeter Cathedral; the work is intended for practising architects who are taught the main elements which must be followed meticulously to achieve the pure pointed style. Kendall (1766-1829) was Surveyor of Exeter Cathedral and responsible for much restoration after about 1805. His important work was reissued once only, by Bohn in 1842. A FINE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE TWO KEY AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED GOTHIC TEXTS IN A SINGLE, HANDSOME BINDING.
8vo., Third Edition, with an engraved frontispiece and 14 engraved plates, and EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED by the addition of 10 small engraved illustrations of churches and a long relevant cutting mounted on rear endpapers, three separate signatures on blank preliminary, some very light age-staining (mainly marginal) to a few plates; nineteenth century green cloth, gilt back, red sprinkled edges, patterned endpapers, an unusually well-preserved, firm, clean copy. THE FIRST SYSTEMATIC TREATISE ON GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE IN ENGLAND, and by far the most influential - Rickman's nomenclature was adopted by most subsequent writers and continues in use to this day. The work was first published in Liverpool in 1817 instancing 833 examples, with a second, slightly larger version appearing two years later. The present edition lists well over 3000 buildings (mainly churches), the majority inspected personally by Rickman, AND EXTENDS THE SCOPE OF THE WORK TO INCLUDE IRELAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES. This is the penultimate edition published during the author's lifetime and includes new lithographed plates by the author. A most attractive copy. See Eastlake pp.122-126.
