Overview

Excerpt from The Journal of the British Archaeological Association, Vol. 15: Established 1843, for the Encouragement and Prosecution of Researches Into the Arts and Monuments of the Early and Middle Ages A modern poet, of much merit, has designated the past as the great text - book in which the present Should con its lessons. Experience is the daughter of Time; and the know ledge of what, in former days, was achieved, both in a moral and physical sense, cannot but be productive of good; while a study of the beautiful in art, whether it be apparent in a statue or an ivy-covered ruin, elevates the sentiments, and refines the taste, enabling men to be better judges of the performances of their contemporaries, and to appreciate the excellences, or detect the faults, which may distinguish the erections from time to time springing up in their own country.
