You will find in my chapter on the Aperture, in the "Stones of Venice," full development of the aesthetic laws relating to both these forms, while you may see, in Professor Willis's 'Architecture of the Middle Ages, a beautiful analysis of the development of tracery from the juxtaposition of aperture; and in the article 'Meneau, just quoted of M. Violet le Duc, an equally beautiful analysis of its development from the masonry of the chassis.
Read carefully, if you have time, the articles 'Pierre' and 'Meneau' in M. Violet le Duc's Dictionary of Architecture, and you will know everything that is of importance in the changes dependent on the mere qualities of matter. I must, however, try to set in your view also the relative acting qualities of mind.
And here we enter upon a most curious group of associated characters in Gothic as opposed to Greek architecture. If you have been able to read the article to which I referred you, 'Meneau, in M. Violet le Duc's dictionary, you know that one great condition of the perfect Gothic structure is that the stones shall be 'en de-lit, set up on end.
