Throughout the book, Hamerton offers insights into his creative process, discussing the challenges and rewards of being an artist and writer. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of this influential figure in the arts.We were taken to the services in Doncaster old church, which was destroyed by fire many years afterwards. Though not yet in my teens, I had an intense delight in architecture, and deeply enjoyed the noble old building, one of the finest of its class in England. Our pew was in the west gallery, not far from the organ, and from it we had a good view of the interior. The effect of the music was very strong upon me, as the instrument was a fine one, and I was fully alive to the influence of music and architecture in combination. The two arts go together far better than architecture and painting; for music seems to make architecture alive, as it rolls along the aisles and under the lofty vaults.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
