To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The main lines, or skeleton, of the design were thus always emphasised and the panel Fig- 50- 8, GROSVENOR SQUARE. Drawn by Edmund L. IVratten. Was further elaborated with smaller scrolls and foliage, which followed or grew out of the guiding curves. The beautiful IRON BALUSTERS. 65 staircases at Hampton Court (Plate liv and Figure 46), the work- manship of Jean Tijou, show this type in perfection. Wren's pupils and successors followed on the same lines, as (to take one example by Hawksmoor) at... Easton Neston (1702-13), where however the flowing work is confined to the landings, the rest being divided into small panels, one to each stair. This il- lustrates that ten- dency to resume the " baluster " idea, which declares itself most openly in Sir John Van- brugh's staircase at Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire, where stout iron balusters are actual- ly used, relieved at intervals by panels of scroll - work. Here, however, the result was scarcely satisfactory, and the more usual practice took the form of a compromise.
