About This Book

Uma série de ensaios defende que a imprensa deve proteger a razão, a arte e a honra nacional, lamentando a predominância de paixões presentes que preferem lisonjas fáceis a convicções racionais. O autor critica o impulso destruidor contra monumentos e tradições, distingue duas fases recentes de renovação e ruína, e analisa reformas modernas que transformaram a ciência, a literatura e a arquitetura. Contrastam-se o luxo decorativo de obras sacrais com a sobriedade utilitária de empreendimentos públicos, e proclama-se a necessidade de coragem intelectual para preservar o património contra modas efémeras.
