Summary: From the back of the book - " In this original and illuminating study it is the ideas behind architectural usage that dominate the stage. This approach has its special merits in this particular problem and results in new understandings of many things that mere chronological sequence and the determination of influence and imitation have not been able to explain adequately. The history of the Dome as an architectural feature is consequently clarified. Professor Smith's technique could be fruitfully applied to a numbe of other complex problems in the history of art... .The book is stimulating, solid and of praiseworthy originality both in approach and in technique. - Raymond V. Schoder "
