An Inquiry into the Difference of Style Observable in Ancient Glass Paintings, Especially in England - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
Thb following work is the result of the study and attention which, at intervals of leisure during the last fifteen or sixteen years, have been given to a favourite pursuit. At a very early period it occurred to me that the varieties of ancient glass painting were capable of a classification similar to that established by the late Mr. Rickman with regard to Gothic A rchitecture; and in the year 1838 I accordingly sketched out a little work, which, though not intended for publication, was shewn in MS. to several of my friends and others interested in the subject. This work has formed the nucleus of the present. My materials were continually increasing on my hand, but I had no idea whatever of giving them to the press, until in a conversation with Mr. Parker he suggested that the publication of my observations might prove useful in directing attention to the study of painted glass, and in facilitating the investigations of others. I have adhered as nearly at I could bliahed terms.
