Character of Renaissance Architecture Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Character of Renaissance Architecture

With the best intentions and the greatest care, it is almost inevitable that a writer on such a subject should make some mistakes, and I cannot affirm that no inexact statements will be found in these pages, but I believe that no fundamental errors occur.

I am again indebted to my almost life-long friend, Professor Charles Eliot Norton, for valuable criticism, and painstaking revision; but Professor Norton is not responsible for anything that I have said. I am indebted, also, to my publishers for their courteous compliance with my wishes as to the style and manu facture of the book, and to Mrs. Grace Walden for the care and thoroughness with which she has prepared the index.
