James went to See also:Calcutta as partner in a See also:mercantile See also:house
.
Here he was attracted by the remains of the See also:ancient architecture of See also:India, little known or understood at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time
.
The successful conduct of an See also:indigo factory, as he states in his own See also:account, enabled him in about ten years to retire from business and See also:settle in See also:London
.
The observations made on See also:Indian architecture were first embodied in his See also:book on The See also:Rock-cut Temples of India, published in 1845
.
The task of analysing the historic and aesthetic relations of this type of ancient buildings led him further to undertake a See also:historical and See also:critical See also:comparative survey of the whole subject of architecture in The Handbook of Architecture, a See also:work which first appeared in 1855
.
This did not satisfy him, and the work was reissued ten years later in a much more extended See also:form under the See also:title of The See also:History of Architecture
.
The chapters on Indian architecture, which had been considered at rather disproportionate length in the See also:Hand-book, were removed from the See also:general History, and the whole of this subject treated more fully in a See also:separate See also:volume, The History of Indian and Eastern Architecture, which appeared in 1876, and, although See also:complete in itself, formed a See also:kind of appendix to The History of Architecture
.
Previously to this, in 1862, he issued his History of See also:Modern Architecture, in which the subject was continued from the See also:Renaissance to the See also:present See also:day, the See also:period of " modern architecture " being distinguished as that of revivals and imitations of ancient styles, which began with the Renaissance
.
The essential difference between this and the spontaneously evolved architecture of preceding ages See also:Fergusson was the first clearly to point out and characterize
.
His See also:treatise on The True Principles of Beauty in See also:Art, an See also:early publication, is a most thoughtful metaphysical study
.
Some of his essays on See also:special points in See also:archaeology, such as the treatise on The Mode in which See also:Light was introduced into See also:Greek Temples, included theories which have not received general See also:acceptance
.
His real See also:monument is his History of Architecture (later edition revised by R
.
Phene Spiers), which, for grasp of the whole subject, comprehensiveness of See also:plan, and thoughtful critical See also:analysis, stands quite alone in architectural literature
.
He received the See also:gold See also:medal of the Royal See also:Institute of See also:British Architects in 1871
.
Among his See also:works, besides those already mentioned, are: A Proposed New See also:System of Fortification (1849), Palaces of See also:Nineveh and See also:Persepolis restored (1851), See also:Mausoleum at See also:Halicarnassus restored (1862), See also:- TREE (0. Eng. treo, treow, cf. Dan. tree, Swed. Odd, tree, trd, timber; allied forms are found in Russ. drevo, Gr. opus, oak, and 36pv, spear, Welsh derw, Irish darog, oak, and Skr. dare, wood)
- TREE, SIR HERBERT BEERBOHM (1853- )
Tree and See also:Serpent See also:Worship (1868), See also:Rude See also:- STONE
- STONE (0. Eng. shin; the word is common to Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Stein, Du. steen, Dan. and Swed. sten; the root is also seen in Gr. aria, pebble)

- STONE, EDWARD JAMES (1831-1897)
- STONE, FRANK (1800-1859)

- STONE, NICHOLAS (1586-1647)
Stone Monuments in all Countries (1872), and The Temples of the See also:Jews and the other Buildings in the Haram See also:Area at See also:Jerusalem (1878)
.
The sessional papers of the Institute of British Architects include papers by him on The History of the Pointed See also:Arch, Architecture of See also:Southern India, Architectural Splendour of the See also:City of Beejapore, On the See also:Erechtheum and on the See also:Temple of See also:Diana at See also:Ephesus
.
Although Fergusson never practised architecture he took a keen See also:interest in all the professional work of his time
.
He was adviser with See also:Austen See also:Layard in the See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme of decoration for the See also:Assyrian See also:court at the Crystal See also:Palace, and indeed assumed in 1856 the duties of general manager to the Palace See also:Company, a See also:post which he held for two years
.
In 1847 Fergusson had published an " See also:Essay on the Ancient See also:Topography of Jerusalem," in which he had contended that the " See also:Mosque of See also:Omar " was the identical See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church built by See also:Constantine the See also:Great over the See also:tomb of our See also:Lord at Jerusalem, and that it, and not the present church of the See also:Holy See also:Sepulchre, was the genuine See also:burial-See also:place of Jesus
.
The See also:burden of this contention was further explained by the publication in 186o of his Notes on the Site of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem; and The Temples of the Jews and the other Buildings in the Haram Area at Jerusalem, published in 1878, was a still completer elaboration of these theories, which are said to have been the origin of the See also:establishment of the See also:Palestine Exploration fund
.
His manifold activities continued till his See also:death, which took place in London on the 9th of January 1886
