To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Architecture is a Science as well as an Art in which emotion is rendered by Art \mder necessary restrictions ; hence Vitruvius, i6 UNIVERSITIES AND the thoughtful writer upon that noble Art, tells us its three essentials : the first, the object of its service, ' Necessitas ; ' second, its capacity to stand and endure, * Stabilitas ; ' third, * Venustas, ' or the Beauty revealed by proportion and ornament, arrangement, elegance, or grandeur. In the study of Architecture those three dicta must al...ways be observed, and in the sequence quoted, when the student is searching for a just estimate of Ancient or Modern, Classic or Gothic Architecture. The critical faculty is thus asked, not only to rely on an emotion provided by a first impression, however strong that may be, but to go deeper than that, even into the elements of construction which have produced an instan- taneous thrill to a beholder. It is on account of the absolute necessity demanded of the student of Architecture, who would comprehend the elasticity of Beauty under restraint imposed by constructional accuracy that the study of Architecture, which is perhaps the noblest as well as the mistress Art, is so rare even among people who profess to like it.
