Excerpt from The Practical Book of Architecture The aim of Part I, A Practical Guide to Styles, is to give, as part of a liberal education, a thorough working knowledge of architecture and architectural styles, so far as is necessary for the use of the general reader, and to give it in so succinct and practical a way that it may easily be assimilated.
