The Perspective Views are generally taken from the same points of view; andthe Details drawn, as far as practicable, to the same scale.

The whole work therefore comprises, as its title implies, a collection of suchParallels.

The advantage of thus placing in juxtaposition and in chronological order thesame parts of different buildings designed—as the Abbey Churches were—forthe same purpose, and remaining—as they almost exclusively do—without subse-quent alteration or addition, will at once be apparent, to those who are interestedin the study of Ecclesiastical Architecture.

The -work contains 121 Lithographic Plates, in Tinted Outline, each 18 in. X 12in., comprising Ground Plans, Elevations, Sections, Details, and PerspectiveViews.
