Still more common appears to be the favor which imperfections of technique find. If certain pieces of Venetian glass-work are undoubtedly superior to the machine- work of the present day, it is not due to the " imperfection " of the work of the hand, nor to the obtrusion of man's labor in executing it, but because the lines are less hard, and the work of man really ap- pears to produce finer linear effects and more beautiful refractions of light. But to reproduce actual faults of structure, whi...ch the benighted workers in past ages would gladly have improved upon if they had had the implements and known the processes, to vitiate the healthy life of architecture in new buildings by the wan- ton reproduction of pathological accidents of time in ancient edifices, constantly to dilute the " architectural " by a superficial infusion of the " pictorial "—as is so fre- quently done now — is a morbid state of taste in support of which the misguided public and artists can find many a passage ,y Google 64 in the writings of Ruskin.
