Excerpt from Military Architecture in England During the Middle Ages Renaissance period. It will be seen that the castle is taken as the unit of military architecture throughout; but illustrations are constantly drawn from walled towns, which are, in fact, the castles of communities, and in the eleventh chapter extended allusion is made to the chief features of their plan and defences. In speaking of the walled town, however, as the castle of the community, it must not be forgotten that the castle is, in its origin, the stronghold of a single owner. That origin is still to some extent a vexed question; for the well-known theory of Mr G. T. Clark, that the castle of Norman times was identical with the bur/z of the Saxon Chronicle, was accepted as a dogma by the antiquaries of twenty-five to fifty years ago, and a theory thus established, however precipitately, is not easily shaken. The patient and thorough work of Mrs Armitage, which deserves the admiration of every scholar, has done much to disturb the foundations on which Mr Clark built his hypothesis; and Mr Neilson, Dr Round, Mr St John Hope, and others, have contributed their share to the discovery Of the real character of the evidence, and the formulation of a sounder theory. The present writer has devoted much time to the study of the original authorities for Saxon and Norman military history, and it is his conviction that the weight of documentary evidence is entirely upon the side of the views upheld with so much ability and originality by these recent investigators. At the same time, the earthworks of early castles still present several difficult problems; and the discredit into which Mr Clark's theory has fallen is a warning against the too confident acceptation ofthe conclusions of a more critical age, and against the danger Of forcing exceptions into the service of the rule.

Excerpt from Military Architecture in England During the Middle Ages Apart from the late Mr G.T. Clarks Medieval Military Architecture, published in 1884, the greater portion of which is a series of monographs dealing with individual castles, there has been no attempt, until within the last few years, to. apply systematic treatment to this branch of science. Recently, however, more than one book has been published upon the general subject of the castles of England. Mr Alfred Harvey has lately given a lucid account of the growth of the castle, with a valuable essay upon English walled towns; and the present year has seen the appearance of a book in which Mrs Armitage has embodied the result of labours of the utmost importance, extending over many years. In addition to works of a general character, a number of separate monographs, indispensable to students, have been published during the last twenty years, in the transactions of various archaeological societies. The contributions of Mr W.H. St John Hope to the study of castle architecture take a foremost place among these, with papers such as those by Mr J.Bilson on Gilling castle and by Mr Harold Sands on Bodiam and the Tower of London; and the late Mr Cadwallader Bates unfinished Border Holds of Northumberland contemn accounts of Warkworth and Bamburgh as well as of smaller castles and peles, which must take rank among the classics of the subject. In the present volume an attempt is made to trace the growth of the general principles of medieval fortification, with special reference to castles, in which, within their limited area, the most complete illustration of those principles is given. In order to give greater clearness to the account of their evolution, a prefatory chapter deals generally with earlier types of fortification in Britain, and the critical period of Saxon and Danish warfare is treated in the second chapter with some detail. This leads us to the early Norman castle of earthwork and timber; and the stone fortifications to which this gave place are introduced by a brief account of the progress of siegecraft and siege-engines. The Norman castle and its keep or great tower are then described. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Essay on the Military Architecture of the Middle Ages The work now offered to English readers has already attained an European reputation in its original language. The accomplished Author has thrown entirely new light on an interesting subject, and has brought to bear upon it not only the results of his great experience as an architect, but also shews a thorough knowledge of the principles of engineering, and great research as an antiquary. The remains of our ancient castles will no longer be considered merely as picturesque ruins, but as objects of careful study, worthy of minute examination in order to discover not only the age when each part was built, but also the special purpose for which it was built with a view to the defence of the castle or town. That part of the work which relates to the hoarding, or wooden constructions to assist in the defence of the castle, is entirely new, and explains many things which were previously quite incomprehensible.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Ecclesiastical Architecture of England, During the Middle Ages: With Ten Illustrative Plates The subject of the present Treatise has given rise to so much and such earnest debate among the learned and ingenious, and has occasioned so many publications, and such a variety of systems concerning it, as cannot fail of exciting the wonder of persons insensible to the grandeur and beauty of Pointed Architecture, and unacquainted with the merit of its invention.

Excerpt from The Medieval Church Architecture of England This book is critical, but it will not be found captious. Its purpose is to set forth the character of mediaeval Church archi tecture in England in the light of a structural analysis and com' parison with the French Gothic art, and of the conditions and in uences under which it was produced. If the results of this investigation point to conclusions that have not hitherto pre vailed, I believe it will be found that they are just, and I have confidence that English fairness will ensure their recognition. I think it must be acknowledged that much English writing on this architecture has been too uncritical, and that without a properly critical spirit it is impossible to form a just estimate of any art.
