Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rational Building: Being a Translation of the Article "Construction" In the Dictionnaire Raisonne De L'architecture Francaise of M. Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-Le-Duc
Great care has been exercised to obtain nice distinctions of meaning; the full force of the French idiom has been seized upon, and the endeavor has been to make this work appear as little like a bald technical translation as was consistent with the incisively keen remarks of the gifted author.
