Scope and content
Rastadt - WW was captivated by the churches of Cologne but disappointed with the buildings in the Netherlands. The churches have 'just resemblance enough with our churches of the 11th century to enable us to class them'. WW has seen 'some of the earliest and most gorgeous specimens of the completely formed Gothic, as the cathedral at Cologne; so that the series though not clearly perfect, is very full and almost satisfactory'.
