Curiosum, 1724, 1726, by Dr. W. Stuke-

of antiquity;"—says Pointed Arches, &c.
came from France to England, 48.
10. Letter to Dr. Wharton, by Thomas Gray,

such vaults irregular spaces," 63. 65.
12. Sotes to Pope's Moral Essays, by Bishop

of trees, 49.

thic, and dates its commencement about

real prototypes of the Pointed Stjle, 63.
17. History of Ely, by the Rev. J. Bentham,
1771; derives the origin of Pointed Arches
from the intersection of semi circles in the
" early Norman and Saxon Buildings;" con-
siders it as uncertain " when they were in-
vented, or where first taken notice of," 52.
18. History of Italian Literature, by G. Tira-
boschi, 1771; supposed that a kind of
Architecture alluded to by Cassiodorus may
have resembled the Pointed Style, 36.

Christian Church Architecture by the terms
Gotica Antica, and Gotica Moderna, 50.
22. Paper in Archceologia, vol. ix. by Governor
