Per Wikipedia Richard Payne Knight 1751 - 1824 Of Downton Castle In Herefordshire And Of 5 Soho Square London England Was A Classical Scholar Connoisseur Archaeologist And Numismatist Best Known For His Theories Of Picturesque Beauty And For His Interest In Ancient Phallic Imagery. He Served As A Member Of Parliament For Leominster 1780-84 And For Ludlow 1784-1806. An Analytical Inquiry Into The Principles Of Taste 1805 Was Knight's Most Influential Work In His Lifetime. This Book Sought To Explain The Experience Of 'Taste' Within The Mind And To Clarify The Theorization Of The Concept Of The Picturesque Following From The Writings Of William Gilpin And Uvedale Price On The Subject. Knight's Views On The Aesthetics Of The Picturesque Are Also Formed In Engagement With Edmund Burke's Emphasis On The Importance Of Sensation Which Knight Partly Rejects In Favor Of A Modified Associationism. The Philosophical Basis Of Knight's Theories Have Implications For His Account Of The Relationship Between The 'Beautiful' And The 'Picturesque'. For Knight Aesthetic Concepts Cannot Be Formed Directly From Optical Sensations Because These Must Be Interpreted Within The Mind Before They Can Be Recognized As Beautiful. Thus A Classical Architecture Roman Temple Is Beautiful Because Of The Proportions Of Its Parts But These Proportions Can Never Be Perceived Directly By The Senses Which Will Simply Encounter A Mass Of Confused Impressions. 'Beauty' Is Thus A Product Of Internal Mental Acts. It Is Therefore Proper To Speak Of Moral Mathematical And Other Non-Sensuous Forms Of Beauty Contrary To Burke Hogarth And Others Who Claimed Such Usages Were Metaphorical. In All Cases 'The Particular Object E.G. Proportion Is An Abstract Idea.' <br/> <br/> T. Payne and J. White hardcover

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.

18187265Longman Hurst Rees Orme & Brown; Murray Nornaville and Fell and others 1819 ; 1818. 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.
