It is a comprehensive guide to the architecture of the time, covering both secular and domestic buildings. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the present state of architecture and the second part looking towards the future.In the first part of the book, Scott discusses the current state of architecture and the various styles that were popular at the time. He also offers criticisms of certain aspects of contemporary architecture, such as the lack of ornamentation and the overuse of cast iron. Scott argues that architecture should be both functional and beautiful, and that ornamentation should be used sparingly but effectively.In the second part of the book, Scott looks towards the future of architecture and offers his predictions for what styles will become popular. He discusses the importance of simplicity and functionality in architecture, and suggests that the Gothic style will become more popular in the coming years.Overall, ""Remarks on Secular and Domestic Architecture: Present and Future"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture. Scott's insights into the contemporary architecture of the time and his predictions for the future provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of architecture in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
