The book is a comprehensive study of the principles of beauty in Grecian architecture, with a focus on the historical development of the art in Greece.The author begins with an overview of the origins of Grecian architecture, tracing its roots back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Asia Minor. He then explores the various styles and forms of Grecian architecture, including the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders, and examines the principles of proportion, symmetry, and harmony that underlie these styles.Throughout the book, Aberdeen provides detailed analysis and illustrations of specific examples of Grecian architecture, including the Parthenon, the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, and the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. He also discusses the influence of Grecian architecture on later styles, including the Renaissance and Neoclassical movements.Overall, ''An Inquiry Into The Principles Of Beauty In Grecian Architecture'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and aesthetics of Grecian architecture, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Greece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
