Notes: "Largely an expansion of an essay on The influence on architecture of the condition of the worker, which gained the silver medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1914.  That essay in its turn was largely inspired by Ruskin's great chapter in The stones of Venice on The nature of Gothic, and is an attempt to apply the principles enunciated there more widely."--Note, p. v.
