Présentation de l'éditeur
The following Personal and Professional Recollections were commenced by my father many years ago. They were designed originally for the information of his family, but as the work progressed the scope of it became enlarged. In 1873 my father drew up directions for its publication in the event of his decease, and his instructions upon the subject are precise. I feel it due, he writes, to myself that the statement of my professional life should go before the public in a fair and unprejudiced form; and the more so as I have been one of the leading actors in the greatest architectural movement which has occurred since the Classic renaissance. I only seek to be placed before the public fairly and honourably, as I trust I deserve; and I commit this especially to those whose duty it is to do it, begging the blessing of Almighty God upon their exertions. The manuscript, naturally enough, contains much that is unsuited to publication, and which my father, had he lived to revise it for the press, would undoubtedly have modified or erased.
