To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here there is no attempt at pronounced classic. The roof is gabled, it has no cornice of any account ; the windows are mullioned, and the dormers retain some of the fantastic curls of the early years of the century. Never- theless, in the plainness and precision of the whole treatment, in the flat shape of the mullions, and in the ovals of the dormers, the experienced eye can detect the march of Time. When it is remembered that this house was built when Wren was in the midst of his career, it w...ill be realised how distinct were the two streams of design already alluded to — the stately, guided by great artists ; the homely, guided by unknown artisans.
CHAPTER XII.
Classic Detail Established — Influence of THE Amateurs.
The Civil War diverted men's thoughts from house- building, and inclined them rather in the opposite direction of destruction. The middle of the century was accordingly not prolific in examples of domestic architecture. Inigo Jones himself was hampered in his career by the part he was obliged to take in public affairs and by the disturbed state of the times.
