Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Influence on Architecture of the Condition of the Worker, which gained the Silver Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1914. That essay in its turn was largely inspired by Ruskin sgreat chapter in The Stones of Venice on The Nature of Gothic, and is an attempt to apply the principles enunciated there more widely. The subject has been treated most illuminatingly by Morris, Choisy, Viollet-le-D uc, Lethaby and others. If this book sends its readers to theirs much of its purpose will be accomplished. The writer abhors dogmatism and distrusts wide generalizations :this book because it is small and its subject huge is full of both. But possibly to lengthen it by introducing copious footnotes, saving clauses and qualifications would be to bring in a remedy worse than the disease.
