Présentation de l'éditeur
Elementary Lectures recommended by the Committee of theO xford Architectural Society to be delivered to the junior Members of theS ociety, in the spring of 1849. They were considered useful and interesting by those who heard them, and as it was thought they might be equally so to others who had not the same opportunity, the President, in the name of theS ociety, requested the author to publish them. Mr. Winston sadmirable Introduction to theS tudy of Painted Glass, formed part of the same series of Elementary Lectures, and has also been published under the same auspices. The distinction between plate tracery and bar tracery was first clearly pointed out, and these names applied to them, by Professor Willis at the meeting of the Archaeological Institute atS alisbury in A ugust, 1849.
