Naturally it could not inelude all the information that the great tomes contained, nor one-tenth of the plates. It did seem appropriate, however, to try and give brief coverage to every monument, so that students could appreciate and have at their disposal the full scope of the larger work . As a resul t, briefsummaries of selected buildings were added, based on Creswell's own accounts.
