Reviews
'Professor Robertson's Handbook gives a clear and balanced presentation of the whole course of development of Classical Architecture and the footnotes and bibliography supply the key to a more specialised study of the subject. The condensation of such a vast mass of material into intelligible form and the convenient compass of one volume is a remarkable achievement for which the student cannot be too grateful.' Journal of Roman Studies, 'Its outstanding merit is that in the compass of merely four hundred pages there can hardly be a Greek or Roman building of any importance that does not obtain mention, and not mere mention, but mention for the characteristic or illuminating feature ... The book thus not only treats the main features of its subject in an admirably clear manner, but will serve as a work of reference, and thus wins among its fellows the high status of a Baedeker.' Journal of Hellenic Studies, 'Professor Robertson provides a sound standard handbook of Greek and Roman architecture, dealing with its successive phases from dim prehistoric times ... The book may be unreservedly recommended.' The Times Literary Supplement, 'Professor Robertson has produced a really great handbook and one which promises to become the standard general work, in English, or perhaps in any language, on its subject. It has not only accuracy, attention to detail and sholarship - these qualities we would expect - it has clarity, breadth or treatment and what can be called architectural soundness.' Cambridge Review
