The true principles of pointed or Christian architecture: set forth in two lectures delivered at St. Marie's, Oscott
A Gothic architecture treatise by Augustus Welby Pugin, published in London by J. Weale in 1841, written as two lectures given at St. Mary's, Oscott, for an audience of architects and church builders. Its plates are measured architectural drawings of Gothic woodwork, screens, pillars and arches, with the Gothic and classical orders set side by side. A designer could take from them the crisp line geometry of pointed arches, tracery and panelling as ready references for ornament and borders.
