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.
