Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rude Stone Monuments in All Countries: Their Age and Uses When, in the year 1854, I was arranging the scheme for the 'Handbook of Architecture, ' one chapter of about fifty pages was allotted to the Kude Stone Monuments then known. When, however, I came seriously to consult the authorities I had marked out, and to arrange my ideas preparatory to writing it, I found the whole subject in such a state of confusion and uncertainty as to be wholly unsuited for introduction into a work, the main object of which was to give a clear but succinct account of what was known and admitted with regard to the architectural styles of the world. Again, ten years afterwards, while engaged in re-writing this 'Handbook' as a 'History of Architecture, ' the same difficulties presented themselves. It is true that in the interval the Druids, Avith their Dracontia, had lost much of the hold they possessed on the mind of the public; but, to a great extent, they had been replaced by prehistoric myths, which, though free from their absurdity, were hardly less perplexing. The consequence was that then, as in the first instance, it would have been necessary to argue every point and defend every position. Nothing could be taken for granted, and no narrative was possible. The matter was, therefore, a second time allowed quietly to drop without being noticed.
