Excerpt from A Treatise on the Decorative Part of Civil Architecture: With Illustrations, Notes, and an Examination of Grecian Architecture Since the time of sir william chambers very great changes have come over both architectural theory and practice. For a while ultra-greek, or what was passed off for and accepted as such, was in the ascendant, until its insufficiency to do more than give us the merest Copyism, and the most wearisome repetition of the same forms and features, led to another vicissitude in a quite contrary direction. Gothic, for which the way had been prepared by antiquarian researches, studies, and publications, was welcomed as a change, and a further one has since taken place, an endeavour being now made to bring that style into. Vogue, and establish it as the most suitable one for secular as well as ecclesiastical buildings, and, moreover, to introduce into it much of quite foreign character. The result of such attempt remains to be seen; yet, even if successful, it can be so only partially, for hardly ever can our anglo-italian be discarded from practice in our secular architecture. Hardly can the study of it be dispensed with were it regarded only as a matter of curiosity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sir William Chambers (1722-96), architect and furniture designer, wished to further his career in the 1750s by publishing on architecture. He also became the Prince of Wales' architectural tutor, architect to the office of works, then head of the royal works (comptroller and surveyor-general from 1782). Notably, he remodelled Buckingham House (1762-73) and designed Somerset House (1775-96), but Chambers' reputation rests also on his Treatise on Civil Architecture (1759), which he revised and expanded in 1791 as A Treatise on the Decorative Part of Civil Architecture. It is regarded as one of the standard English texts on classical architecture, and remains essential reading. This reissue is of the two-volume edition of 1825, annotated by the architect and writer Joseph Gwilt (1784-1863). Volume 1 contains Gwilt's prefatory material, including an analysis of Grecian architecture's development, followed by Chambers' systematic treatment of the orders of architecture.
