Excerpt from A History of the Gothic Revival: An Attempt to Show How the Taste for Medi�val Architecture Which Lingered in England During the Two Last Centuries Has Since Been Encouraged and Developed IF any preface to this book be needed, it should perhaps take the form of an ample apology for the time which has elapsed between its original announcement and its publica tion.
