SMALL COUNTRY HOUSES OF TO-DAY Edited by LAWRENCE WEAVER, , Hon. Large quarto, bound in Linen, gilt Price 15/- net ^ by post (inland) 15/6 Foreign and Colonial Post, 16/6. 224 pages, 300 A THATCHED COTTAGE. THE two reduced facsimile pictures given here, and the specimen illus- trations reproduced opposite, full size, chosen from three hundred which illustrate this handsome quarto volume, serve to indicate its scope. It fills a distinctive place, because not only is the picked work of more than 40 of the best architects of the day shown by plan and photograph, but it is discussed in detail, frankly yet sympathetically. As the houses illustrated, nearly fifty in all, vary from whitewashed week-rcnd cottages Costing less than £500 to dignified country homes costing £5,000, all sorts of internal arrangement and architectural and garden treatment are brought under review. Not least important are the chapters which deal with the right way to repair and add to old country cottages and farmhouses. To all of moderate means who contemplate building or altering a country house, this book, which treats the subject clearly and in a large spirit, yet in an untechnical way, will be of the utmost Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jekyll, Gertrude, 1843-1932; Weaver, Lawrence, Sir, 1876-.
