Excerpt from Reason in Architecture: Lectures Delivered at the Royal Academy of Arts in the Year 1906
Part of the following chapters formed the substance of two lectures on Architecture given by invitation last year at the Royal Institution. Addressing a mixed audience I thought it a useful opportunity for presenting the subject under a different aspect from the usual one, and for showing that the purely archaeological side of Architecture which is generally studied cannot rightly be regarded as sufficient for the general public, and still less for practising Architects.
During the vacancy of the Professorial chair at the Royal Academy I was asked by the Council to undertake the lectures on Architecture this year; and I thought no treatment of the subject would be more useful than this, either to the students or to others who were present.
