Architectural Review; these were published at intervals from 1905 to 1907. I had at first no thought of giving them a more permanent form. When certain friends urged me to do so, I proposed to publish them more or less as they stood, with the addition of references to authorities, such as a book requires. However, it soon appeared to me that more extensive alteration and enlargement were desirable, in the first place, because, however liberal of his space an editor may be (and those responsible for the Architectural Review gave me to a large extent a free hand), one can hardly help being cramped at times by the necessary scale of an article; secondly, because I hope that, since each article was written, I have gained a wider and more accurate knowledge of I rish architecture a part of the subject I also, in 1907, worked out further in two articles for Christian A rt, published at Boston, U.S.A. While therefore some parts of the book are now printed much as they originally appeared, most of these have been greatly enlarged or rewritten :the appendix is almost wholly new. It is possible that some conclusions at which I have arrived may be resented as detracting from the originality of I rish architecture. Probably few people realize how difficult it is to find anything like a quite fresh departure in European architecture generally Gothic building having been evolved out of Transitional and Romanesque work, and these again being more or less copied from Roman work; a careful study of De Vogue s Syrie Centrale (for instance) will bring this fact home to anyone, probably somewhat to his surprise at the extent of the obligation revealed; I noticed the other day, at Borcovicus (H ousesteads) on the Roman Wall, an example of a waterholding base in Roman work, and have been wondering whether this is a coincidence or represents a further debt incurred.
