Excerpt from Designs for Parsonage Houses, Alms Houses, Etc; Etc: With Examples of Gables, and Other Curious Remains of Old English Architccturc
My Lord,
No attempt to revive what may be considered excellent in the Fine Arts of our Ancestors, can look to any Patron so peculiarly entitled to the tribute of its dedication, as to a Nobleman pre-eminently distinguished for the encouragement he has given the Fine Arts of his own time. It is therefore that I respectfully inscribe this Volume with the name of Lord Farnborough; and express my earnest hope, that the same taste, judgment, and feeling, which have made your Lordship's opinion the test of merit in Painting and Sculpture, may be exercised upon these efforts to restore the sister art of Architecture in a way not altogether unfavourable to their Author.
