"The description appear to contain all that is necessary to point out, in a satisfactory manner, the peculiar interest, historical or otherwise, of each locality, without being overburdened with the superfluous details usually dragged in to swell the volume of local guide-books; and the style in which they are written is, in spirit and adaptation to the large and mixed class to which they are addressed, inferior to none of Mr. Knight's popular publications."--_The Times_, June 25, 1851. London: CHARLES KNIGHT, 90. Fleet Street. Just published, with Twelve Engravings, and Seven Woodcuts, royal 8vo. 10_s._, cloth, THE SEVEN PERIODS OF ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED. An Elementary Work, affording at a single glance a comprehensive view of the History of English Architecture, from the Heptarchy to the Reformation. By EDMUND SHARPE, M.A., Architect. "Mr. Sharpe's reasons for advocating changes in the nomenclature of Rickman are worthy of attention, coming from an author who has entered very deeply into the analysis of Gothic architecture, and who has, in his 'Architectural Parallels,' followed a method of demonstration which has the highest possible value."--_Architectural Quarterly Review._ "The author of one of the noblest architectural works of modern times. His 'Architectural Parallels' are worthy of the best days of art, and show care and knowledge of no common kind. All his lesser works have been marked in their degree by the same careful and honest spirit. His attempt to discriminate our architecture into periods and assign to it a new nomenclature, is therefore entitled to considerable respect."--_Guardian._ London: GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street.
