STOR Y OF ARCHITECTURE. An Outline 

 of the Styles in all Countries. By CHARLES THOMPSON MATH- 

 EWS, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects ; author of 

 " The Renaissance under the Valois," etc. Illustrated. i2mo. 

 Cloth, $3.00. 



This compact yet comprehensive history of architecture offers a study of 

 tha effects of civilization upon architecture as a necessity and an art. Almost 

 all the architectural monuments specially referred to are described from 

 personal knowledge. American architecture receives careful attention, and 

 Asiatic and Oriental architecture, usually neglected in such books, is dis- 

 cussed with an exceptional fullness of information. As regards the various 

 phases of European architecture, the book will be found to be of constant 

 value to travelers as well as to students, while in its comprehensiveness, in- 

 forming quality, and the extent of the illustrations, it fills a place with the 

 general reader which has long been vacant.

 cooies and engravings to all who have the slightest tincture of taste for art, are described 

 in a special chapter, which affords a convenient stepping-stone to a just appreciation of 

 thi most celebrated masters of painting. An important feature of the work, and one 

 which may save the traveler much time and expense, is the sketch presented in the 

 appendix of the galleries of Florence, Rome, Paris, Venice, Dresden, and other Euro- 

 pea.i collections." New York Tribune.
