[29] This unfoliated capital I have since noticed in the Church at Tulle in Limousin, where simplicity was suggested by the material--granite. (G. G. S.) [30] I read a paper on the English Transition, especially viewed in reference to its English and French elements, before the Archæological Institution at Canterbury in 1875. See their Journal. (G. G. S. 1878.) [31] For illustration see Lecture IV., Fig. 109. [32] For illustration see Lecture V., Fig. 116. [33] It is fair to say that Professor Willis doubted the date given to this Galilee. (G. G. S. 1878.) [34] In the church of St. Francis at Assisi, a German and an Italian architect worked together. The former imported into the work a German version of the French Pointed style, while the latter retained the semi-classic Romanesque of his own country--the two indefinitely commingled. (G. G. S. 1878.) [35] The last sentence, though expressing a general truth, must not be taken too literally; for, though it is the great principle of Gothic architecture to decorate construction, this may be effected simply or richly, and with or without sculpture or carving, according to the requirements of the case. (G. G. S.) [36] I remember conducting for the first time M. Reichensperger through Westminster Abbey, being surprised at his objecting to some details as “Bysantinisch.” This arose from his having mentally adopted later styles as his models, in which no trace of Romanesque origin remains. (G. G. S. 1878.) [37] See Lecture VII. page 248. [38] See capital from S. Eusèbe, Auxerre, Lecture III., page 101; also capitals from Montmartre, Lecture VIII., page 319. [39] See capitals from Nôtre Dame, Saint Chapelle, etc., Lecture III. pages 102 and 103. [40] I have since discovered that the great four and five light windows of the chapter-house at Westminster were finished in 1253. These are of the fullest development, and have cusped heads to their lights. (G. G. S.) For illustration, see Interior of Chapter-House, Lecture XIV. Vol. ii. [41] For illustration, see Lecture V., Fig. 122. [42] For illustration, see Lecture V., Fig. 116. [43] I remember, in the report of one of the parish meetings, Mr. Barclay having proposed the restoration of the glorious old nave, an intelligent parishioner exclaiming, “What! keep them great elephants’ foots?” (G. G. S. 1878.) [44] I am glad to learn that the drawings _are_ preserved, and that they will, D.V., be published by Mr. Dollman. (G. G. S. 1878.) [45] Or rather, in some respects, of Beauvais. The two were, no doubt, jointly referred to by the Cologne architect. (G. G. S.) [46] Since writing this I have had the privilege of restoring it, and in these days of ante-restoration I am glad that so clear a record had been kept of its previous condition. (G. G. S. 1878.)
