II. Further Observations on the Ecclesiastical Architecture of France and England: in a Letter from Thomas Rickman, Esq. to John Gage, Esq. F.R.S., Director

Extract

I now resume my consideration of the Architecture of England and part of France, and I intend in the present Paper to notice such Buildings in both Countries as are either known to be of a date prior to the year 1000, or in their clear difference from anything of later date, may, from that clear difference, and their relation to works known to be before the year 1000,— be well permitted to be considered of an earlier date, until proved to be of a later one.
