Character of Renaissance Architecture
Moore, Charles Herbert
Architecture, Renaissance
“It is without question the most noteworthy work upon architecture yet
written in America, as well as by one of the foremost contributors to
the literature of the subject which has appeared in any country....
“Mr. Moore’s book is an honor to American scholarship and
investigation, and deserves the widest circulation among readers who
possess any interest in what he succeeds in making a most interesting
subject.”--BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER.
“While the more appreciative readers of this volume will be found among
students of architecture, no reader of taste or culture will find its
pages without interest.”--THE TRANSCRIPT, BOSTON.
“A very intelligent and sufficiently lucid discussion of fundamental
principles ... distinguished by a clear, logical precision of
statement, and by a boldness, and not unfrequently by an originality of
deduction, such as cannot be found in the works of European scholars
... lucid enough to commend themselves even to readers unfamiliar with
the technical side of the subject. To such readers, also, the orderly
development of the argument, the frequent, graphic illustrations, ...
and above all, the exhaustive index, cannot fail to serve at once as an
invitation to enter upon a charming field of study, and an inducement
to stay until the last words are said.”--THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.

OUTLOOK
“To the literature of architecture no American is better qualified to
make a contribution of lasting value than Mr. Russell Sturgis.”
THE ARCHITECTS’ AND BUILDERS’ REVIEW
“Mr. Sturgis tells his readers exactly what the purpose of his book is,
and raises no expectations that are not fully realized.... It cannot
be too widely known or too carefully studied.... Nothing Mr. Sturgis
can say on the subject of architecture can fail to be interesting and
instructive.... It is not too much to say that this single work forms
the best introduction to the serious study of European architecture
ever published.”
THE INDEPENDENT
“In Mr. Sturgis’s ‘European Architecture’ rare good taste, simple
truth, and great knowledge combine to satisfy eye and mind.”
