Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Antiquities of England and Wales, Vol. 1 As in the course of the ensuing work many terms and allusions may occur, unintelligible to persons who have not made the antiquities of this country their immediate study; and who would, for information, be obliged to turn over a variety of books; to these a general history of ancient castles, explaining the terms relative to their construction, garrisons and privileges, with the machines used for their attack and defence, will be useful, if not necessary: the fame may be said on the subject of abbies and other monastic foundations. Illustrative accounts of both are therefore here given, compiled from the best authorities; and as most of these buildings are either of the Saxon architecture, or of that stile commonly called Gothic, some characteristic marks and principles of the first are pointed out, and an investigation of the origin of the latter attempted. Domesday-book being quoted in several descriptions, some particulars of that ancient record, with a specimen of the hands in which it is written, will, it is hoped not improperly, be inserted.
