Sir William Chambers (1722–96), architect and furniture designer, wished to increase his status in the 1750s by publishing on architecture. His Treatise, annotated and republished in two volumes in 1825 by the architect Joseph Gwilt (1784–1863), is regarded as one of the standard English texts on classical architecture.
