To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is it not chronicled somewhere that in the reign of ' good Queen Bess ' the maids of honour had to petition to 'have their chambers ceiled, and the partition that was of boards, to be made higher, for that the servants looked over ;' and that the chamber for the squires of the body was so 'ruinous and cold, ' that they begged to have it 'ceiled overhead and boarded under foot' to make it habitable?
' It is beyond the scope of this little work to enter into further details of Moorish architectur...e; but we cannot refrain from noticing how, in some modern dwellings (and, notably, in the decoration of the new '\\'hitehall Club, ' in London), the Moorish system of mural decoration seems to be finding favour in England, in iS66.
Chap. XII. THE SERAGLIO. 205 But whatever be thought of Moorish archi- tects, judged by the standard of other nations, may we not attribute, at least a part, of their great success to the fact that they were artists as well as architects ; that their education com- prised a knowledge of engineering, of chemistry, of painting, and indeed of everything that was directly or indirectly applicable to their art ?
