A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN GRECIAN, ROMAN, ITALIAN, AND GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. The Fifth Edition enlarged, exemplified by 1700 Woodcuts.

"In the Preparation of this the Fifth Edition of the Glossary of
Architecture, no pains have been spared to render it worthy of the
continued patronage which the work has received from its first
publication.

"The Text has been considerably augmented, as well by the additions of
many new Articles, as by the enlargement of the old ones, and the
number of Illustrations has been increased from eleven hundred to
seventeen hundred.

"Several additional Foreign examples are given, for the purpose of
comparison with English work, of the same periods.

"In the present Edition, considerably more attention has been given to
the subject of Mediæval Carpentry, the number of Illustrations of 'Open
Timber Roofs' has been much increased, and most of the Carpenter's
terms in use at the period have been introduced with
authorities."--_Preface to the Fifth Edition._
