ABSTRACT
It has been said that “ architecture is the material expression of the wants, faculties, and the sentiments of the age in which it is created,” and that “ style in architecture is the peculiar form that expression takes under the influence of climate and materials at command.” It has also been asserted that “ the influence of the causes which act most powerfully on the genius of the Arts, after the climate, is the manners, religion, and the changes to which a nation is subject in its political state during the course of ages.”
