Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, Vol. 14 Art. 1. 1. The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture, set forth in Two Lectures delivered at St. Marie´s, Oscott. By A. Welby Pugin, Architect and Professor of Ecclesiastical Antiquities in that College. 4to. pp. 68. 1841. London: Weale. 2. Two Lectures on the Structure and Decorations of Churches. By the Rev. George Ayliffe Poole, M.A., Incumbent of St. James´s Church, Leeds. [The Christian´s Miscellany, No. 1.] London: Rivingtons; Burns; and Honlston and Stoneman. Leeds: Green. Various causes have recently combined to extend the interest of architectural publications, and even to diffuse throughout the country a disposition to reproduce, in both public and private buildings, the forms in which our forefathers delighted. Among these causes, prominence may be given to two, - the church extension movement, and that mystic reverence for ancient forms and ordinances, which, never wholly extinguished in the established communion, has of late been so powerfully revived by the efforts of the Oxford tractarians. New churches are rising up in every part of the kingdom; and their erection has as naturally drawn public attention to the characteristics of ecclesiastical architecture, as the demand for them has, for a season, directed the study of architects themselves rather to the ecclesiastical than the general branch of their professional business, and to ecclesiastical rather than classical models. The clergy have, of course, been largely interested in this building movement; and possessing, as many of them do, from their station in society and elaborate education, a highly-cultivated taste, it was to be expected that this would induce, as it certainly would qualify, them to master both the principles to be applied, and the details to be exemplified, in structures dependent on their patronage.
