ADDRESS.

SIR WILLIAM CHAMBERS, in his interesting "Treatise on Civil Architecture," properly and judiciously remarks, “One cannot refrain from wishing that the Gothic Structures were more considered, better understood, and in higher estimation, than they hitherto seem to have been. Would our Dilletanti, instead of importing the Gleanings of Greece; or our Antiquaries, instead of publishing loose, incoherent Prints, encourage persons duly qualified to undertake a correct publication of our own Cathedrals, and of other Buildings called Gothic, before they totally fall into ruin, it would be of real service to the Arts of Design, preserve the remem brance of an extraordinary style of building, now sinking fast into oblivion, and at the same time publish to the World the riches of Britain in the Splendour of her ancient Structures." The plan recommended by this justly eminent Architect, is now undertaken; and it is confidently hoped, that Public Encouragement will keep pace with the zeal and exertions manifested to merit it.

On the present occasion, the Author deems it sufficient to apprize his Antiquarian friends and the public, that the "History of Salisbury Cathedral" is intended to be the first of a Series, devoted to these magnificent edifices; towards the prosecution of which work, he has been occasionally engaged, during the last five years, in collecting Sketches, Drawings, and Literary Information. It is his intention to comprise, in the Literary Disquisitions,-1st, A connected historical Essay on the Age, Style, and Characteristics of each Building;-2dly, A Description of the whole Edifice, and of its various Parts;-3dly, A Dissertation on the Manners, Customs, and Rites observed in Cathedrals at different periods;-4thly, Observations on the Peculiarities and Merits of Monumental, Allegorical, and Decorative Sculpture; and 5thly, Biographical Anecdotes of the Bishops, and of other illustrious and eminent Persons interred within each Church, or directly connected with it.

TO SALISBURY CATHEDRAL Thirty Engravings will be appropriated: the Sizes and Prices of the different Editions will be, Medium Quarto, £3.-Imperial Quarto, £5.-both to class with the Architectural Antiquities. A few Copies are worked on Royal and Crown folio, to class with, and illustrate the new Edition of “ Dugdale's Monasticon."

The Cathedrals of OXFORD, NORWICH, PETERBOROUGH, and LINCOLN, will successively follow that of Salisbury, each Cathedral forming a complete Work, The Author will be much obliged for the communication of any Documents or Information respecting any of these Edifices; or relating to any eminent Persons buried in them.

A Set of them will comprise a more select and interesting Collection than can be formed, unless it were possible to collect the Originals of the same Paintings into one Grand National Gallery.

EACH ENGRAVING OF THE SECOND SERIES,

WITH ITS DESCRIPTION,

(BEING COMPLETE IN ITSELF,)

May be purchased separately, if desired.

"When we consider the reputation and talents of the individuals concerned in the superintendence of this Work, and examine also with impartiality the Specimens of their labours as far as they have hitherto proceeded, it is equally impossible to withhold our praise and admiration, and our most cordial wishes for its final, perfect, and most successful accomplishment.

"If the Work proceeds according to the Specimens produced, and there can exist but little doubt on this head, it promises to be among the most splendid, beautiful, and delightful productions, that any time or country has exhibited of the kind.

"We repeat our good wishes. We could easily say more that is expressive of our favourable sentiments, but we certainly should not honestly have performed our duty to have said less."
