SYNOPSIS OF CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to set the stage for the course by establishing the importance of
First the chapter overviews the importance of technological innovation for a firm’s competitive
success and the advancement of society in general. The chapter points out that 1) many firms are
relying on products developed in the previous three to five years for large portions of their sales
and profits; 2) globalization has increased competition putting more pressure on firms to
compete through innovation; 3) advances in information technology have enabled both process
improvements and the efficient generation of product variants which facilitates the execution of a
differentiation strategy at a reasonable cost; and that 3) the residual growth in the GDP can be
attributed to technological change. Both the positive and negative effects of technological
innovation are described. Advances in food production are an example of the first and pollution
is an example of the latter. Next the innovation funnel is introduced to show students that on
average 3,000 raw ideas must enter the funnel in order to arrive at 1 successful new product
launch.
Second, the chapter discusses the risks and cost of innovation. On average, many more
innovation projects fail than succeed. Firms are much more likely to be successful if they have a

negatively.
LECTURE OUTLINE
I) Overview
a) In many industries technological innovation is now the single most important driver of
competitive success and because the pace of innovation has increased many firms now rely
on products developed within the prior five years for a large portion of their sales and
profits. This period is reduced to three years for firms in fast-paced industries such as

improve the future, rather than to cast ill-natured censure upon the
past.” However, we cannot take exception to Mr. Bardwell’s
discharge of his duty. He has most appositely given these extracts
through a whole chapter, and placed them in admirable order for
study and profitable reflection. No one can read through this chapter
attentively without being impressed with a desire to contribute his
part to the rectification of such errors as are therein pointed out—it
will awaken many to an active investigation where other modes of
expression or remonstrance would probably fail.
In Chapter V. Mr. Bardwell enters into the great question that
awaits us at every approach to a comprehensive study in
architecture—the origin. Speculation on this point is in its nature
endless; but it is highly gratifying to feel occasionally that we are
thrown in the way of facts, and such it is the province of this chapter
to treat us to. With a little prefatory matter in the way of an assault
upon the hitherto deemed orthodox authorities on such subjects, and
upon the principle of adherence to rule and precedent, and upon the
little fables of an inventive tradition, assigning to this accident or that
the origin of this or that feature, plan, and style, we come to the
“burden of the book,”—Temples; and have a most interesting
dissertation on those of ancient character, or on what we may more
aptly term sacred edifices, memorials, or monuments.
“An altar of turf or of stones, stones of memorial, such as that set
up at the grave of Jacob’s beloved Rachel, the great stone near the
oak at Shechem, Absalom’s Pillar, Jacob’s Bethel, Samuel’s
Ebenezer, the Gilgal, or circle of stones, of Joshua; a heap of
unhewn stones, the Pandoo Koolies, of Hindostan, the numerous
pillars set up by the Phœnician merchants, on the shores of the
Mediterranean, in France, in Sweden; and in Great Britain, circles
and rows of huge stones, like those of Stonehenge, Abury, &c.;
cromlechs and logan stones, a portable ark, or tabernacle, were the
first sacred monuments. Next came the pyramid, a cylinder, whether
a cippus or a column; a cubical block, with a particular member
superadded to the regularity of mathematical proportions. A sphere
and a tetrahedron; and last succeeded a vase covered with a flat lid,
and adorned with various sculptures from the vegetable and marine
world.”
Thus Mr. Bardwell connects with religion the first memorable and
permanent efforts of Building Art—sacrifice he shows to have been
associated with, and to have guided the workings of, the first
builders, from the “primeval altar of little more than a raised hearth,
built generally of unhewn stones,” to the “column or stone pillar of
mystic character—‘And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took
the stone that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and
poured oil upon the top of it; and he called the name of that place
Beth-El.’” “The Greeks also erected pillars which they called
‘Baitulia,’ evidently derived from Beth-El, involving the same mystery,
and both supposed to be symbols of the Divine Presence.”
Chapter VI. increases in interest, and is devoted to the Temple of
Ammon.
“The Temple of Ammon, the remains of which archæologists, for
many powerful reasons, agree are extant in the enormous pile
known as the Temple of Karnac, is by far the most extensive, as well
as the most ancient, of the Theban edifices; properly belonging to
the whole period of the monarchy, and may with propriety be termed
the Temple of the Pharaohs, the majority of whom, in succession,
more particularly such as are celebrated in history, contributed their
efforts to its enlargement and magnificence. From numerous
authorities it seems clear that Ham, the son of Noah, the Amun,
Ammon, or Osiris of the Egyptians, must be considered as the
original founder of Thebes, or the city of Ammon, as his son
Mizraim, Misor, or Menes, was by common consent the founder of
Memphis; so that the temple of Ammon or Ham was, in all
probability, originally named from its founder, like the Temple of
Solomon at Jerusalem.”
We cannot take our readers along with us as we would by quoting
largely from this interesting chapter, nor will we presume to dispose
of the work by this brief and imperfect notice; it deserves much more
at our hands; it is written with an enlarged feeling, and a genuine
spirit of devotion to the sublime art upon which it treats; it is erudite,
and occasionally profound; but we must take our leave of it for the
present, concluding with another extract from the same chapter.
“The remains of Karnac are about 2,500 feet from the banks of the
Nile, on an artificial elevation, surrounded by a brick wall, about
6,300 yards in circuit. The chief front of the temple (the western) is
turned towards the river, with which it was connected by an alley of
colossal crio-sphinxes, leading down to the bank of the river. Here
the devotee would land who came from a distance to the shrine of
Ammon, and with amazement and a feeling of religious awe would
he slowly walk along between the majestic and tranquil sphinxes to
the still more magnificent propylæ of the building. This colossal
entrance is about 360 feet long and 148 high; the great door in the
middle is 64 feet high. Passing through this door-way, he would enter
a long court, occupied by a row of pillars on the north and south
sides, and a double row of taller pillars running down the middle.
These pillars terminated opposite to two colossal statues in front of a
second propylon, through which, after ascending a flight o’ twenty-
seven steps, we enter the great hypostyle hall, which had a flat stone
roof, supported by one hundred and thirty-four colossal pillars, some
of which are twenty-six feet in circumference, and others thirty-four.
The width of this magnificent hall (for the entrance is in the centre of
the longest side) is about 338 feet, and the length or depth 170 feet.
The centre column supported a clere-story, in which were small
windows. Four beautiful obelisks mark the entrance to the adytum,
which consists of three apartments entirely of granite. The centre or
principal room is 20 feet long, 16 wide, and 13 feet high. Three
blocks of granite form the roof, which is painted with clusters of gilt
stars on a blue ground. Beyond this are other porticos and galleries,
which have been continued to another propylon at the distance of
2,000 feet from that at the western extremity of the temple.”

AN ENCYCLOPÆDIA of TREES and SHRUBS; being the
Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum abridged, for the use of
Nurserymen, Gardeners, and Foresters.
The abridgment of the Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum
contains:—
1. Characters and short popular descriptions of all the species and
varieties of hardy trees and shrubs now in British gardens, with
directions for their culture; including the soil most suitable for them,
their propagation, and their uses in the arts, and more especially in
landscape-gardening and profitable planting.
2. Engravings of all the species which are described, to one and
the same scale, of which a figure, 1, a beautiful new species of
Cytisus (Cytisus Weldenii), and fig. 2, a species of pine from Mexico
(Pinus Teocotes), are here given as specimens.
3. The scientific names and scientific synonymes of all the
species, and their popular names in the languages of the different
countries where they are indigenous or cultivated.
4. An alphabetical index to all the species and varieties, with their
synonymes.
5. A tabular analysis of the leaves, by which the name of any
species of tree or shrub described in the work may, in general, be
discovered, from a small portion of a shoot with the leaves on.
6. Specific characters, descriptions, and figures of some species,
more particularly of pines, firs, and oaks, which were not in the
country in 1838, when the large work was completed.
7. An analysis of the commoner trees and shrubs of Britain, with
reference to their uses in plantations, useful or ornamental, their
adaptation for particular soils and situations, their flowers and time of
flowering, &c. &c.
In a word, though this abridgment does not include all the
interesting and useful information on the natural history of trees
which will be found in the larger work, or any of the portraits of entire
trees which constitute so distinguished a feature in it, yet it contains
all that is necessary to enable the reader to discover the names of
the different species, and to ascertain their culture, propagation, and
uses in Britain; in short, all that is essential for the nurseryman,
gardener, and forester.
