"'No more important contribution has been made to the history of English architecture (or any of the visual arts in England, for that matter)... in this century' Hugh Honour, The Observer 'It is hardly an exaggeration to say that Colvin's Dictionary changed the face of English architectural history' David Watkin in The Rise of Architectural History 'an indispensable reference on any architectural historian's bookshelves... a treasured source of much fascinating information... a staggering achievement, beautifully written and superbly produced. It is indubitably the standard work of biographical reference in the field' James Stevens Curl, Journal of the Royal Society of Arts 'An indispensable book for any architecture historian, professional and amateur.' Colin Amery, Financial Times 'A definitive work of reference, but also extraordinarily absorbing, a book to savor again and again.' Linda Colley, The Observer"
