  MERICAN 
  ESTATES 
  AND 
  GARDENS 
  is 
  a 
  sumptuously 
  

   illustrated 
  volume 
  in 
  which, 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time, 
  the 
  subjed: 
  of 
  the 
  

   more 
  notable 
  great 
  estates, 
  houses, 
  and 
  gardens 
  in 
  America 
  

   receives 
  adequate 
  treatment. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  volume 
  of 
  350 
  pages, 
  

   enriched 
  with 
  275 
  illustrations, 
  of 
  which 
  eight 
  are 
  in 
  duotone. 
  

   An 
  effort 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  to 
  select 
  as 
  great 
  a 
  variety 
  as 
  possible 
  of 
  the 
  styles 
  

   of 
  architecture 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  introduced 
  into 
  this 
  country 
  as 
  being 
  spe^ 
  

   daily 
  adapted 
  to 
  the 
  peculiar 
  conditions 
  of 
  American 
  country 
  life. 
  

   Q 
  Although 
  the 
  exteriors 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  houses 
  shown 
  in 
  this 
  work 
  may 
  be 
  

   familiar 
  to 
  a 
  certain 
  number 
  of 
  readers, 
  few 
  have 
  had 
  the 
  privilege 
  of 
  a 
  

   visit 
  to 
  their 
  interiors, 
  and, 
  for 
  that 
  reason, 
  special 
  attention 
  has 
  been 
  given 
  to 
  

   reproductions 
  of 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  sumptuous 
  halls 
  and 
  rooms 
  of 
  people 
  of 
  wealth, 
  

   and 
  no 
  better 
  way 
  can 
  be 
  obtained 
  of 
  learning 
  how 
  the 
  favored 
  few 
  live. 
  

   Q 
  The 
  illustrations 
  are 
  in 
  nearly 
  all 
  cases 
  made 
  from 
  original 
  photographs

  Economical 
  Heating 
  

  

  Some 
  heating 
  systems 
  waste 
  heat 
  and 
  

   fuel 
  because 
  of 
  their 
  poor 
  construction. 
  

   This 
  compels 
  forcing 
  the 
  apparatus 
  to 
  

   obtain 
  sufficient 
  heat 
  and 
  necessitates 
  

   many 
  repairs. 
  Saving 
  of 
  fuel 
  and 
  freedom 
  

   from 
  repairs 
  is 
  true 
  heating 
  economy.

  are 
  always 
  under

  and 
  are 
  eco- 
  

   nomical 
  because 
  they 
  require 
  but 
  little 
  

   fuel 
  and 
  attention, 
  distribute 
  every 
  

   particle 
  of 
  heat 
  evenly 
  throughout 
  the 
  

   house 
  and 
  require 
  no 
  repairs.
