Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mistress Art
Que les caprices de la nouveaute ont introduit depuis quelques annees.' I have hoped to encourage students to aim at that noble maniere de penser as Blondel calls it, which Is lamentably rare in modern architecture. I have to Oxpress my Obli gations to Mr. S. H. Butcher, m.p. For Cambridge University, for some valuable suggestions in regard to the lecture on The Limitations of the Arts.' I should also apologise to the painters and sculptors for occasional raids into their territory, and for claiming again for architecture the role of the Mistress Art. The term is only a paraphrase of the time-honoured.
