The Archaeological Journal, 1885, Vol. 42: Published Under the Direction of the Council of the Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, 1885, Vol. 42: Published Under the Direction of the Council of the Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland In Offering some preliminary remarks upon the great theme Of Architecture, I Shall try to avoid discursiveness, and endeavour to give a few descriptive hints and sugges tions which wayfarers, such as we are, may find Of some little use, as we inspect some Of the chief Objects of architectural interest which Northumberland can still exhibit. In that great county I must always feel an hereditary interest. It is out Of the domain Of history that I look upon the handiwork Of ancient builders. The dates which the historian discovers are the framework upon which the whole system Of architectural science is laid down. It is history, likewise, which reproduces men and manners, feats Of arms, and the achievements Of the gentle life, without which stones are mere stones, and Wood and water, the forest and the moor, lose half their charm. And there is added to history in N orthumberland the poetry of legend and tradition which invests tower and stream in this wide district with its own inimitable grace.
