About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

The ceilings in the other buildings do not present the same variety or complexity of arrangement; they possess all the elegance for which the fan-like groining is so remarkable, and the whole surface of the stone is worked into a variety of radiating traceries. The construction of the latter differs from the others in one respect; there are no aisles to act as sustaining abutments to the lateral pressure, which is much greater than in Henry the Sevent...
