Summary: "A History of Architecture in all Countries, Volumes 1 and 2, 3rd ed." by James Fergusson is a comprehensive historical account of architectural styles written in the late 19th century. The text aims to cover the evolution of architecture from ancient to modern times, encompassing various cultural influences and methodologies in building design. The opening portion of the book introduces Fergusson's perspective on architecture as both a technical and aesthetic pursuit. He emphasizes the importance of studying architecture from a historical standpoint, which allows for a deeper understanding of its evolution alongside human civilization. The text outlines his intent to define architecture clearly while highlighting its ethnographic significance, suggesting that architectural forms reflect the characteristics and beliefs of different cultures. This approach sets the stage for a detailed exploration of ancient architectural practices, beginning with notable structures and styles from various regions.
