Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... reminiscences, having the ram's head at each angle, the horns, from which depends some drapery, giving a hint of the Ionic order. The fifth is remarkable for its corbelled abacus. The eighth resembles closely the angle capital of Kilpeck door The Kilpeck doorway, Influence of the old Celtic school of ornament, its symbolism described by Mr. G. K. Lewis. beneath. The eleventh, with serpents devouring men's heads, typifies the destruction of man by his evil passions. The thirteenth symbolises the Holy Spirit, and the last is a type of a very ornamental class of capitals common in the florid German Romanesque churches, at the commencement of the thirteenth century. The first doorway on the left, as we advance from the cloister arcade, is from the Church of Kilpeck, -in Herefordshire, a village about eight miles from Hereford. The present church was built probably about the year 1134, by Hugh son of William Fitz Norman, lord of Kilpeck castle. In that year, according to the register of the Abbey of Gloucester, the said baron gave St. David's Church, Kilpeck, and the Chapel of St. Mary de Castello "to God, St. Peter, and the monks of Gloucester." We observe here the evident influence of the old Celtic school of ornament, in its prominent lacertine forms; and the angle heads of the right-hand capitals bear a striking resemblance to some in the old Irish churches. The costume of the figures, interwoven with the foliage of the shaft on the left, is that of Anglo-Saxons or Danes, their long hair and beards being also characteristic of the islanders, in contradistinction to whom, the Normans cut their hair and shaved, or tried to shave, their faces.

Built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Crystal Palace originally graced London's Hyde Park with Joseph Paxton's remarkable geometric design and groundbreaking use of glass elements, prefiguring the modern movement in architecture. After the exhibition a group of bankers, railway directors, and men of influence moved the structure to a new site in south London, rebuilt it to an even grander scale, and set about its promotion as a "palace for the multitude." Here were exhibitions, concerts, and spectaculars to fill a splendid day out for Londoners of all classes and interests. Filled with plaster casts of great art treasures, life-sized models of dinosaurs, waterworks, and gardens, the Crystal Palace became a center of both education and entertainment from the Victorian era through its destruction by fire in1936. Copublished with C. Hurst & Co., London Wisconsin edition for sale only in North and South America, U.S. territories and dependencies, and the Philippines.
