A New Series of Architectural Books. 



THE PROPRIETORS OF " COUNTRY 

 LIFE " have pleasure in announcing a new 

 and important series of Architectural Monographs 

 under the general editorship of Lawrence Weaver, 

 F.S.A., Hon. A.R.I.B.A., of which " Houses and 

 Gardens by E. L. Lutyens " is the first volume. 



The series will include books by authors of acknowledged 

 authority on the work of great architects of the past, such as the 

 Brothers Adam, and great craftsmen like Grinling Gibbons ; on 

 the architectural development of the minor arts of Plasterwork, 

 Ironwork, and the like ; and on individual features of buildings, 

 such as Fireplaces and Chimneypieces, Staircases and Panelled 

 Rooms. The volumes will be uniform in size, type and style of 

 binding. Two are now in the press, and six more are in active 

 preparation. The prices at which they are published will vary 

 with the number of pages in each volume, but in all cases will be 

 much lower than ever before attempted for baoks so fully and 

 finely illustrated. 



It is hoped that the following Monographs will be published 

 in 1914-15. Fully illustrated Prospectuses will be forwarded, 

 as issued, to anyone making application.
