|  | Gentleman's Magazine 1839 part 1 p.387 ecclesiastical architecture the nomenclature of Rickman will 
necessarily be adopted.
 Mr. Rickman has excluded military structures almost, if not  
altogether, from his valuable work; but his rules may  
nevertheless be applied to the determination of their date  
in almost every case with success; since the architecture of 
different periods differs not less in the distribution and  
fashion of the ornaments, than in the arrangement and  
proportion of the parts.
 We are not aware of any instance of Guide-book in which we  
can seek for an illustration of what has been advanced; but  
if the reader will turn over half a dozen pages of any one  
of these performances that may be within his reach, he will  
find ample instances of the errors to which we have been  
objecting.
