"The book before us contains Mr. Ruskin's theory and doctrine of the elements of architecture. It cannot be read by any one without improvement to his moral sense and mental discipline.

THE SEVEN LAMPS OF ARCHITECTURE.

With Fourteen Etchings by the Author. Imp. 8vo, 1l. 1s.

"By the 'Seven Lamps of Architecture,' we understand Mr. Ruskin to mean the seven fundamental and cardinal laws, the observance of and obedience to which are indispensable to the architect who would deserve the name.
