BERESFORD HOPE, Esq., M.P., D.C.L., &c., WHOSE talented father, the late THOMAS HOPE, Esq., in his admirable "Historical Essay on Architecture," was, perhaps, the first to direct attention to the history of the arts of the modern, as distinguished from the ancient, civilization; and who has himself taken so leading a position among those who, in different countries of Europe, are labouring in the revival of their indigenous architecture, as the nucleus on which to develope that of the future, This humble attempt to aid that revival is, in earnest trust that he will unflinchingly continue to press on to its natural results the cause he has so long and ably advocated, Most respectfully inscribed, By his very faithful Servant, HAMPSTEAD, July, 1857.
