PREFACE.

To Mr. John Le Keux, whose talents are too well known to admit
of praise from me, I am much indebted for the satisfactory execution
of many of the engravings.

Mr. Willson will accept of my acknowledgments for his friendly
and zealous co-operation, not only in the literary department, but
also in the choice and arrangement of the subjects, as well as the
general plan of the work.

With the assistanceof this gentleman, and relying on acontinuance
of the kind encouragement of my patrons, I intend to commence a
second series of “ Examples of Gothic Architecture,” in a volume of
corresponding character to the present. The conditions of publication
of the new series being stated in the accompanying prospectus, it is
unnecessary to repeat them. Many sketches and drawings have been
prepared for this work, and subscriptions are most respectfully
solicited. Every endeavour will be used to render the second series of
“ Examples ” equal, if not superior, to the present; and arrangements
made for publishing the letter-press in successive portions at the
same periods with the plates, in order to prevent any disappointment
at the conclusion of the work

105 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London,
July 1831.
