Excerpt from Rudiments of Architecture: Practical and Theoretical

Even the well known work of that luminary of Oxford, Dean Aldrich, originally written in Latin, will give its reader very little useful information on the subject; it is indeed scarce more than a cento from the works of Vitruvius, Palladio and Alberti, and consists of instructions altogether inapplicable to buildings in this country, unless temples to the gods, antient Roman, and modern Italian houses and palaces should ever be in re quisition from the English architect.
