Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Pages in good condition. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Four splendid centuries of architec tural innovation carried building in northern Europe from the indigen-ous timber barn and framed hall to the dramatic evocation of space and light in the great cathedrals. Medieval Structure traces the de-velopment of the Gothic style. The author's approach is unique: he focuses not on Gothic decora-tion but on the logic and develop-ment of Gothic architectural struc-ture. Discarding the aesthetics of much art history, he analyses the problems faced by the builders and explains the interplay of tensions, force, and stress. He concentrates on the roof ('the essential element. No roof no building'), on which the best energies of architects and craftsmen have been lavished, and which has always been a major structural problem because it must be carried across a usable space in defiance of gravity. The book begins with a description of the most primitive building form, the simple hut, which in northern lands where wood was plentiful was made of framed timber, and around the Mediterra.…

22 issues. Contemp. half calf, marbled boards; rubbed. Ownership inscriptions of Robert Hollingsworth, Barton on Humber, armorial bookplate (Trinitas in Unitate, Trinity House), later small stamp of Henry Hare. Leeds, NLW and Oxford appear to have vo,ls 1-6, BL & Hull University vols. 1-4. Acland, born 1799, was a Londoner - a radical, anti-establishment, anti-slavery campaigner who was imprisoned twice while editor of The Bristolian, 1827-1831. Having fanned the flames of the Bristol riots in 1831, he moved to Hull. The dedication to the Hull Portfolio indicates Acland's antipathy to the powers-that-be: 'To those unfaithful stewards and servants of the burgesses of Kingston-upon-Hull (those involved printed upside down and in reverse) this first volume of a publication which faithfully records their vices and their follies is dedicated (without their permission).'. …

Orig. red cloth, bevelled boards, front board blocked and lettered in gilt, back board blocked in blind, by W. Bone & Son; sl. dulled but v.g. a.e.g. From the Library of Baron Lionel de Rothschild, but suprisingly (see note below) without inscription. No copies on Copac; National Library of Israel and NYPL only on Worldcat. The volume ends: 'End of Part I.' but this appears to be all published. Acland writes in the Introduction that he set about collecting materials for a history of the Jews in England in 1860 at the 'urgent instance' of John Ingram Travers, (to whom this book is dedicated). 'Among others from whom I sought information was my old friend the late Thomas Slingsby Duncombe. Member for the Borough of Finsbury', who was terminally ill, but wanted a Commission in the Horse Guards for his son. The Duke of Cambridge advised Duncombe that it would cost £1,500, which he was unable to prioritise. 'It occurred to me that Mr, Duncombe had a legitimate claim upon the Hebrew members of the House of Commons'. £1,000 was given by Baron Lionel de Rothschild and £500 by Sir Francis Goldsmid: '. young Duncombe joined his regiment; and in the winter of 1861 my friend died'. Acland compares the liberality of the Jewish donors with the lack of Christian support for Duncombe's widow at a time of her distress - brought on by the profligacy of her guardsman son. On his deathbed, Duncombe 'revised [this book] to the close of the second chapter, as now published.' University College Library (only) holds a 'rough proof' of the first two chapters 'sent out by the author (Duncombe) to a select few' in 1861. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, 1796-1861, MP for Finsbury from 1834 until his death. He was a radical Whig, supporting the Chartists, and in the 1850s was spokesman in parliament for the Liberation Society, supporting claims of religious dissenters in the House of Commons. James Acland (formerly Ackland), 1799-1876, a strident radical reforming journalist, who was sentenced to imprisonment for libel on several occasions. He was a leading supporter of the Anti Corn Law League and became a political agent in the 1850s; he also campaigned for prison reform.…
