Excerpt from Architecture an Introduction to the History and Theory of the Art of Building
Even in an historical narrative it may be possible to bring out principles and ideas rather than to describe examples, and the writer would, above all, like to suggest a general theory of architecture as a result of the survey of the past. To anticipate, it may be said here that great art is not a question Of shapes and appearances which may be Copied, it is fine response to noble require ment; a living architecture is always being hurled forward from change to change.

Excerpt from Architecture an Introduction to the History and Theory of the Art of Building
Two arts have changed the surface of the world, Agriculture and Architecture. Perhaps the scale of architectural activity is not generally realized. The art of building is concerned not only with single structures but with cities, and hence with whole countries, for Egypt, Greece, and Italy were groups of cities rather than geographical spaces empty of men and dwellings. Architecture is the matrix of civilization. In this small volume I wish, while outlining the larger facts of the history of architecture, especially to bring out its origins and to call attention to the great contributions which from time to time have been made to its powers by divers schools.
