There is a typing error in the Ruskin Library Transcript T7A. On the substance of the point compare Jones (1856) p.150:
If two intelligent students of Italian art and literature diligently set themselves to trace, the one the latest date at which the direct, though lingering, light of Rome greatness waned to its feeblest glimmer in the land over which it had once shed its dazzling rays, and the other the earliest effort made to excite a veneration for what most historians declare to have almost utterly died out in the lapse of ages - classical beauty - there is little doubt that they would not only meet, but cross one another, in the progress of their researches...Almost concurrently with the introduction of the pointed arch in Northern Italy by an Englishman, in the construction of St Andrea, at Vercelli, early in the 13th century, and with the German work of Magister Jacobus, at Assisi, a protest was commenced in favour of the ancients and their arts by that great reviver of antique sculpture, Nicola Pisano.
