  A 
  collection 
  of 
  designs 
  of 
  Houses 
  with 
  Colonial 
  

   (Georgian) 
  details 
  but 
  arranged 
  with 
  modern 
  com- 
  

   forts 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  completeness 
  of 
  the 
  twentieth 
  

   century. 
  

  

  Written 
  and 
  Illustrated 
  by 
  

   E.

  They 
  show 
  large, 
  correctly 
  drawn 
  perspectives, 
  

   full 
  floor 
  plans, 
  and 
  complete 
  descriptions, 
  with 
  

   estimates 
  of 
  cost. 
  The 
  designs 
  are 
  new, 
  original, 
  

   unique, 
  consistent, 
  but 
  not 
  stiff 
  nor 
  constrained. 
  

   Made, 
  not 
  by 
  an 
  artist, 
  but 
  by 
  an 
  architect. 
  They 
  

   combine 
  beauty 
  of 
  exterior 
  with 
  complete 
  and 
  

   convenient 
  interiors, 
  with 
  Kitchens, 
  Laundries, 
  

   Pantries 
  and 
  Closets 
  carefully 
  and 
  skilfully 
  con- 
  

   sidered.
