Originally published in 1817. Dated from the British Library. Illustrated with frontispiece and fourteen plates. Collated complete. With preface and singular leaf of advertisements to the present edition, as well as errata slip to the rear. A detailed study of the different styles of English architecture from the Conquest to the Reformation. This piece is Rickman's most well known work which established the basic chronological classification and terminology for the various styles of ecclesiastical architecture of Middle Age England. Written by Thomas Rickman, an English architect and antiquary considered a major figure in the Gothic Revival. Bound in half crushed morocco with cloth boards. Externally, sound with rubbing and light wear to the extremities. Fading to the spine and the odd mark to the boards. Light loss to the head and tail of the spine. Front hinge starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with light scattered spotting, predominantly to the plates. Age toning to the first and last few pages. The odd pencil mark. Residue of removed bookplate to the front pastedown. A cut to the base of the title page, contents, and pages 1 and 2. Bookseller's label to the front endpaper. Good
