While the only omission that has been made,
namely, that of the utensils and ornaments of the Mediaeval Church (with
the exception of the few such as altars, credences, piscinas, and
sedilias, which belong to architectural structure and decoration), is a
portion of the work which all must admit to have been foreign to a
Glossary of Architectural Terms, and must therefore agree to have been
wisely and properly left out. The work in its present form is, we
believe, unequalled in the architectural literature of Europe, for the
amount of accurate information which it furnishes, and the beauty of its
illustrations; and as such, therefore, does the highest credit both to
its editor and to its publisher; if, indeed, the editor and publisher be
not identical.
Mr. L.A. Lewis, of 125. Fleet Street, has commenced a series of weekly
Book Sales, to take place every Friday during the months of October and
November, and has arranged that parties sending large or small parcels
of books for sale during the one week, may have them sold on the Friday
in the week following.
