To the Reader GLory is the Recompence of good Actions And although they say of Virtue that it is the Reward of its self it is nevertheless very seldom that any man is induced to do well upon this Principle Glory is rather his more-pleasing and continual Object He loveth it and by the effect of this his love he is eagerly carried on to undertake all that may enable him to possess the same He becometh moderate he becometh couragious he becometh prudent and by a thousand proofs that be sheweth of his virtue he produceth a thousand Witnesses of the desire that he hath to possess this Glory By this desire all men bend the inclinations they receive from their Birth towards Virtue By this desire some have attained the Title of Valiant others of great Politicians Many have embraced Learning and according to the excellent motions of their mind some have been praised for their Piety and others have carried away the glory of having attained to the perfection of that which they have undertaken and to be an Example to all those that love the Reputation of their Countrey as much as they do their own The Author of the Work which I present thee Reader is become of the number of these vertuous Ones He was a Gentleman and that he might render its due to his Profession he followed Henry the Great whithersoever the occasions of that Prince did call those of his condition But after that France had received from the goodness as well as from the Valour of its King a general Peace Monsieur de Mauclerc retired himself home where following the inclination of his Genius he made this Work which is become no less glorious for the French than it is for the Author himself The matter hereof hath been handled by divers strangers But he hath understood it as well as they and although they have preceded him in the publishing of their Meditations they have no further advantage of him than in time only He hath made such Observations therein which are as so many Rules and such Illustrations as ought to pass for solid instruction and throughout all the ordering is so admirable it compelleth us to believe he did not reduce it into the estate in which it is but in a long time and very curious inquiry His death was the cause that this Work hath not seen the light sooner But now it is restored to France after half an Age since he was taken from it It is the whole Body of Architecture it is a perfect Treatise of that Art much enableth Marble and Stone to become the delights of men which maketh them the Glory of Palaces the Ornaments of Churches and the most durable Monuments which the ambition of men could ever find out to make their Riches and Power recommendable to Posterity It hath alwayes been so esteemed it hath as it were become familiar in the Courts of Kings and Princes And for the Credit it hath got among magnificent Rich Ones it maketh us still to report of their Virtuous Inclination as well as of their great Fortunes The People that first perfectly possessed it are the first also that acquired Elegancy of Behaviour and the perfection of Sciences From the Greeks it passed to the Romans And although the great understanding of this latter People could have invented some things new yet they alwayes conformed themselves to the Rules which the first delivered concerning this Art They also added thereto worthy Augmentations and both the one and the other have received the Glory of that whereof they were the Authors The Grecians Province called Doris gave its name to the Dorick Column the Ionick is so called of Ionia which is a part of Greece and the famous City of Corinth hath encreased much its Renown by having invented the Corinthian Column The Romans named the Tuscan Column which they found out and the Composite is a sort of Column that receiveth all the Beauty and Ornaments of the other within its body Lastly Every Nation hath set forth stately Testimonies of the esteem which they have all had of this Art The Jews much boast of the Temple of Great Solomon The Assyrians their Babylon The Egyptians talk much of their Pyramides The Greeks of the famous Temples which they built for the memory of their Godds Rhodes boasteth of its great Colossus Rome setteth before our eyes its Temples its Ampitheaters its Arches of Tryumph and its thousand stately Palaces which makes us still to admire its former greatness I will end with our selues and without mentioning innumerable particular Houses which are as many Palaces comparable to those of Antiquity I will say that the Louvre is an Abstract of all the Curiosities of Architecture and that its Magnificence far excelleth all that the ambition of strangers can arrogate to themselves therein This witnesseth to all the World that the French have had the perfect knowledg of this Art and that our Author intended not so much to give Instructions to his own Countrey-men as to make it known that this Art was very acceptable amongst them He hath written thereof all that ought to be said but this not being his whole intention he hath set them forth and caused them to be Engraven in Copper His Work sheweth the care he hath used therein the exact justness he hath given to the Measures of his Columns the excellency of the most fitting Ornaments and of the least particularities he hath observed in the Bodies and in
