Although Thomas Hope is chiefly associated with the Greek Revival movement, this essay exemplifies the growing interest in Romanesque architecture - or 'Rundbogenstil' as it was called in Germany.

Most plates show Romanesque architecture of Italy and Germany. They conclude by showing examples of Gothic.

A French translation was published in 1839; an Italian one, in 1840.
