Sayfa 127 - You show us Rome was glorious, not profuse, And pompous buildings once were things of use; Yet shall, my lord, your just, your noble rules, Fill half the land with imitating fools ; Who random drawings from your sheets shall take; And of one beauty many blunders make; Load some vain church with old theatric state; Turn arcs of triumph to a garden gate; Reverse your ornaments, and hang them all On some patch'd dog-hole eked with ends of wall...
Sayfa 116 - The greatest natural genius cannot subsist on its own stock : he who resolves never to ransack any mind but his own, will be soon reduced, from mere barrenness, to the poorest of all imitations; he will be obliged to imitate himself, and to repeat what he has before often repeated.

Sayfa 96 - Time, as well as from Buildings of my own Performance, which raised my Reputation, and gave no small satisfaction to those who were pleased to employ me; I thought it an Undertaking worthy of a Man who considers that he was not born for himself only, but likewise for the good of others, to publish to the World the Designs (or Draughts) of those Edifices, which with equal Expence of Time and Danger to my Person, I have collected ; and briefly to set down what seem'd to me most worthy to be consider'd...
Sayfa 96 - My natural inclination leading me, from my very Infancy, to the Study of Architecture, I resolv'd to apply myself to it: And because I ever was of opinion, that the ancient Romans did far exceed all that have come after them, as in many other things so particularly in Building, I proposed to myself 1£itruvius_ both as my Master and Guide, he being the only ancient Author that remains extant on this Subject.
Sayfa 116 - The more extensive therefore, your acquaintance is with the works of those who have excelled, the more extensive will be your powers of invention ; and what may appear still more like a paradox, the more original will be your conceptions.
Sayfa 14 - ... than which mine eye hath never yet beheld any columns more stately of stone or marble; for the bricks having first been formed in a circular mould and then cut, before their burning, into four quarters or more, the sides afterwards join so closely and the points concentre so exactly that the pillars appear one entire piece...
Sayfa 21 - Edifices: wherein (because they consist of larger dimensions, and that they are beautify 'd with more curious ornaments than private ones, as serving for the use and conveniency of every body) Princes have a most ample field to show the world the greatness of their Souls, and Architects are furnish'd with the fairest opportunity, to demonstrate their own abilities in excellent and surprizing inventions.
Sayfa 22 - ... are to follow, it is my desire, that by so much the greater application may be used in considering the little I shall say, and the designs I shall give; by how much greater fatigue and longer watchings I have been reducing those Fragments that remain of ancient Buildings into such a form, that I hope the lovers of Antiquity may reap pleasure from the same, and the studious of Architecture receive much benefit: especially seeing that much more is learnt in a little time from good Examples, or...
