The great essays are great even if over a half century old. The reason for the rating is the not so great essays. Good try in finding something special in Gandy but ultimately not convincing. The Butterfield essay didn't seem thought through enough, downplays Pugin and doesn't really address the influence of the Camden Society in relationship to architectural thought.

A new Description of Sir John Soane's Museum de Peter Thornton
