The Theory and Practice of Architecture; or Vitruvius and Vignola Abridg\'d. The For Sale

The Nile on
The Theory and Practice of Architecture; or Vitruvius and Vignola Abridg\'d. The First, by the Famous Mr. Perrault, ... Carfully Done Into English. And the Other by Joseph Moxon; and now Accurately Publish\'d the Fifth Time by Vitruvius Pollio

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included.
