The science of taste: being a treatise on its principles
The science of taste is an 1879 London treatise on aesthetics by G. L., published by E. Stanford for general readers of design theory. Its pictures are black-and-white line engravings of architectural members such as corbels, arches, and panelled wall bays, drawn with precise hatching that shows how ornament and structure are built, a useful reference for designers studying classical and Gothic detail.
