Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Building News and Engineering Journal, Vol. 18: January to June, 1870 Fig. 66 represents a window at Milton Malsor, occupying a square space, but in which the main figure consists of a wheel in which eight spokes diverge from the centre. The spandrels are open and foliated. Square-headed windows are often filled with tracery in the various styles. We can, how ever, only represent one two-light window (see fig. Which is filled with very beautiful tracery of a mixed divergent and convergent character, divided bya vertical line in the middle. In some cases this vertical line is, however, omitted. Flat-headed windows are, however, far more common in the Perpendicular than in any other style. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
