To give a clear idea of the manner in which architectural art progressed through the epoch contained in the following tables, as various styles proceeded along parallel lines, a short synoptical table has been given, as an introduction, showing the characteristics of the several periods and styles together with their duration and locality. From this table become more apparent than any other mode of description would render possible, the variations in the art proceeding at the same time in different provinces: how for long a style or characteristic abandoned in one country retained its vitality in another; or how, in many cases, a perfect but purely local style died out before the greater wealth or influence of a neighbouring state.
