1 62 EARLY RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE IN DERBYSHIRE. 



It is much to be hoped that ere long Mr. Gotch will be 

 induced to bring out a companion volume to the one now 

 under notice, extending from the Restoration to the end of the 

 Georges. Such a descriptive handbook is at present entirely 

 lacking. If undertaken in the power and spirit that animates 

 these pages, the period would prove to be far more picturesque 

 and interesting than is usually or fashionably supposed to be 

 the case, and Derbyshire would again be well to the fore in 

 variety of examples. The shelters that man has occupied, or 

 has contrived for his convenience and delight can never lack 

 in interest to the intelligent, from the caves of our palaeolithic 

 ancestors to the villas of modern suburban life.
