"Since the year 1836, in which this work first appeared, no fewer than
four large editions have been exhausted. The fifth edition is now
before us, and we have no doubt will meet, as it deserves, the same
extended patronage and success. The text has been considerably
augmented by the enlargement of many of the old articles, as well as by
the addition of many new ones among which Professor Willis has embodied
great part of his Architectural Nomenclature of the Middle Ages the
number of woodcuts has been increased from 1100 to above 1700 and the
work its present form is, we believe, unequalled in the architectural
literature of Europe for the amount of accurate information it
furnishes, and the beauty of its illustrations."--_Notes and Queries._
