Excerpt from Architecture an Introduction to the History and Theory of the Art of Building

Even in an historical narrative it may be possible to bring out principles and ideas rather than to describe examples, and the writer would, above all, like to suggest a general theory of architecture as a result of the survey of the past. To anticipate, it may be said here that great art is not a question Of shapes and appearances which may be Copied, it is fine response to noble require ment; a living architecture is always being hurled forward from change to change.
