Excerpt from Popular Dictionary of Architecture and the Allied Arts, Vol. 1: A Work of Reference for the Architect, Builder, Sculptor, Decorative Artist, and General Student; With Numerous Illustrations From All Styles of Architecture, From the Egyptian to the Renaissance
In selecting the terms, we have given the preference to those which are purely architectural, or relate to arts intimately allied with Archi tecture; and which have reference to the artistic, rather than to the mechanical aspect. We have therefore excluded such terms as are more properly treated of in works on Engineering and Building Con struction generally.
