Excerpt from A Manual of Gothic Moldings: With Directions for Copying Them and for Determining Their Dates

A third edition of the Manual of Gothic Moldings having been called for, the present Editor, at the request of Mr. Paley, has undertaken to prepare it for the Press. Though it is always difficult for one person to carry out satisfactorily the work of another, the Author was of Opinion that the revision of a professional man would secure accuracy, and give the work that practical character which he wished it to have.

The additions and alterations that have been made have chiefly been done by way of further explanation where anything might not previously have seemed clear to a student; at the same time, the Editor has been careful to keep the book within its present limits, lest he Should change its whole character from an elementary treatise to one of an entirely different class.

Excerpt from A Manual of Gothic Moldings: With Directions for Copying Them and for Determining Their Dates

As a sixth edition of Mr. Paley's work is required, the Editor has endeavored to improve it by inserting more examples in the text, and also by arranging the plates so that they are more easy for reference. Several small amendments have also been made.

Professor Willis's Nomenclature is now so difficult to obtain that one or two extracts have been made instead of the mere reference given in the former editions.

The Editor has been careful to keep the book within the same limits as to size so as not to increase the cost, and trusts that this edition will meet with the same approval which has been bestowed on its predecessors.
