"Several years ago a translated edition was published of the J.A. Léveil-Vignola for student use. That edition is out of print and the present revised book is based on it. Much of the of the data of the former edition has been condensed and many new plates added. The text of the present edition gives as near as possible, the exact sense of the French, but is not a literal translation. All of the text and notations of value to the student have been translated and supplemented with a glossary and foot notes. This is essential in that Vignola is the primer of the architectural student. Translator. Cleveland, O., August 4, 1921."--Pref.
