RECOLLECTIONS OF A. N. WELBY PUGIN, AND HIS FATHER, AUGUSTUS PUGIN; With Notices of their Works. BY BENJAMIN FERREY, ARCHITECT, F.R.I.B.A. WITH AN APPENDIX BY E. SHERIDAN PURCELL, ESQ. LONDON: EDWARD STANFORD, 6, CHARING CROSS. S.W. 1861. ΤΟ A. J. BERESFORD HOPE, D.C.L., &c. MY DEAR SIR, THE well-known interest which you take in all matters relating to the study of Mediæval Art renders any apology from me unnecessary in commending to your notice a Memoir of the great Revivalist, Welby PUGIN. You have encouraged, both by precept and example, the noble cause of "True Principles" of Art, which Pugin so earnestly and ably advocated. I feel therefore much pleasure in being permitted to dedicate to you the following pages, and subscribe myself, Your very obedient faithful Servant, BENJAMIN FERREY. |
