that time had turned backward to

of this work is to clarity a subject on which
the inquirer is often led astray. The convent

in the world to distinguish between the Intel
of the Greek and the arch of the Roman and
then. the way to Gothic. to take the Middle
Ages in your stride with some rather loose
forrnulae devised to cover the great bodies Of
so-called Byzantine and Romanesque archi-
lecture. Mr.. Porter aims at defining with
greater accuracy and describing with fuller
period in the builders art which lies between
the nightfall of antiquity and the forenoon OF
the modern world. He would subject medieval
architecture to the most rigorous Interrogation,
extorting from it the last secrets of its develop
ment, and incidentally exposing the intimate re-
lations Of successive formative styles Thus he
does something to close up those gaps that so
often bewilder the student of the historic periods
in architecture, showing how modes OF con-
struction which the pedagogue would shut up in
so many different watertight compartments
melt, one into the other, by almost mperceptble
stages. At the same time there is nothing
bftrary about his survey. His tone is singular
y liberal, and he makes attempt to frame
new hard and fast theory. His book is expOsi-
tory rather than argumentative, and it is in
very unobtrusive fashion that he somehow puts
in clearer light the organic growth of Euro
pean architecture.
All through his work he takes account, at
significant points, of political, religious and So
ciaI influences. and IN the analyses OF specific

Professor D'Ooge has performed in his book on
the Acropolis a work of reconstruction which
should prove invaluable to the student of Greek
architecture This book does not make easy
reading The minute archaeological researches
here summarized relate not simply to the merely
beautiful buildings of the Acropos but to their
foundations, to the strong walls within whlch
they rose and in short to the very anatomy OF
that great fabric of the Athenian5 which we
are wont to visualize in terms more poetic than
practical To follow Professor D'OOge Is to fol-
low the evolution of a rough assemblage of pre-

historic structures into the supreme architect
uraI spectacle Of the Periclean age, and in the
process much is encountered that is either OBJ
scure or wOfully dry. This author is no dull
pedant, but ne belongs to the scientific school,
and has Il wholesome dread OF those pitfalls of
the imagination into which that writer IS so
apt to descend who attempts too warmly to
vivify the dead bones of the past This volume
is q positively austere piece of scholarship. But
that in no wise lessons its value. On the con-
trary Professor DOoge's sobriety and caution
make him an uncommonIy useful guide
The Acropols appears to have risen by slow
degrees to its extraordinary rank in the history
of Greek civilization. In its earliest period II
would seem TO have served the purpose Of a for
tress as well as that Of sanctuary, and 1t was,
into the bargain the seat of royalty. The secu-
lar uses Of the site were probably never unac-
cornpanied by the ninstratiOns Of religion
Tracing it's development into the place of tenn
pies that is chiefly known to the modern mind
Professor D'Ooge lays stress upon the beauty
of the hill and Of its position. which naturally
commended it 70 the dwellers in the Attic plain.
and he speaks also of the abundance Of good
building material which made it the easier for
those dwellers TO create their marvels Of archi-
lecture From the start an ideal OF durability
prevailed The old Pelasgic walls are heroic af-
fairs Partly of course, this due to the
early importance of the Acropoli5 as CITADEL
but when little by little. the stronghold of the
Athenians was transformed into the shrine OF
Athena, the same laws ruled and the walls of
the goddess were made even nober than the
walls of men. It under the leadership of
Pericles that the Athenians. then at the height
Of prosperity and Of national enthusiasm, pro-
ceeded to make the AcropOls glorious With
buildings and sculpture they resolved to pro-
claim their pride and to do honor 10 the virgin
goddess, and the fates provided in Phidias and
Ictinus the two men of genius best qualified to
interpret patriotism and religion in forms OF
art.
This book brings out the idea OF pure simple
ty, Of majestic proportion. which governed the
Iabors Of these and other masters Also 1t ex-
hibits the practical genius OF the Greeks. as In
