Mrs. Allingham's pictures of English rural life and scenery are 

 already famous. She possesses a rare power of expressing the 

 incomparable beauty of the commons, gardens, and cottages of 

 England, and each drawing forms a perfect little idyll in colour. 

 The counties of Surrey, Sussex, and Kent naturally provide a 

 wealth of charming subjects for the volume, and examples are also 

 given of cottages in Cheshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, the Isle of 

 Wight, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, etc. 



Mr. Stewart Dick's letterpress gives an extremely interesting 

 account of the history and construction of the ancient cottages and 

 farmhouses for which English country districts are conspicuous. 

 Among the contents are chapters on the Evolution of the Cottage, 

 the Great Building Time, the Structure, Tiled and Thatched 

 Cottages, Mud Cottages, Stone Cottages of the Cotswolds, Farm- 

 houses, Inns, and Old Gardens.
