Excerpt from A History of Architectural Development, Vol. 3 of 3 Tins volume treats of the Renaissance in Italy, France, and England. The temptation was strong to include other countries, but if more than a most cursory account of these had been attempted, the space allotted to the three mentioned must have been considerably curtailed, or else the volume would have swollen to unconscionable proportions. After all, Italy and France were the two main arteries through which the Renaissance owed, and nearly all the phases of development can be traced in them alone. French work has been treated in this volume with considerable fulness, partly because it has long been a special favourite of mine, and partly because hitherto no reliable books on the subject in English have been available. In Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands, as in England, the Renaissance was always struggling, never absolutely free. In all it was hampered at first by vernacular traditions, and when it finally threw those ofi', original development was checked, to a great extent, by the overpowering in uence of Italian design.
