Gothic Architecture, a style distinct from
the Grecian or Roman, although de-
rived from the latter. The early ex-
amples are characterized by circular
arches springing from massy columns,
called the Saxon style; this afterwards
merged into the pointed arch of various
forms, beautifully ornamented with fo-
liage, &c. wrought with skill and ele-
gance: the early examples of this style
are called Norman, and the latter ones
Gothic, which are generally much en-
riched. In England there are many
examples of each sort.
