These four notable volumes form together an unequalled 

 pictorial survey of the domestic architecture of England 

 of every style and period. They are, moreover, a treasiury, 

 not only of the life stories of the notable men and women 

 who have lived in our historic homes, but of those covmty 

 and village traditions which throw, so much light on the 

 larger issues that have made the history of the nation. 



" A veritable revelation of the wealth of internal adornments, archi- 

 tectural and other, contained in the great country mansions of England. 

 To turn over the pages is to obtain keen pleasure, as well as enlightenment, 

 concerning a treasury of domestic art and arohsaology which to a large 

 extent is kept closed from the common eye." — Scotsntan.
