The true principles of pointed or Christian architecture : set forth in two lectures delivered at St. Marie's, Oscott
A Gothic Revival treatise on architecture by A. W. N. Pugin, published in London in 1853 from two lectures given at St Mary's, Oscott, for architects and students of pointed design. Its plates are measured line drawings of windows, screens, canopies and column orders, drawn flat and without shading so that the profiles and tracery can be read directly. A designer could borrow the cusped lancet and quatrefoil tracery, the crocketed pinnacles and the traceried panels as clean structural motifs.
