American Estates and Gardens l\ 



BARR FERREE 



Large Quarto, ; 11x13% Inches. 340 Pages. 275 Illustrations. Handsomely Bound. Gilt Top. Boxed. 



^ This is a sumptuously illustrated volume in which 

 for the first time, the subject of the more notable, great 

 estates, houses and gardens in America receive adequate 

 treatment. 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 

 specially adapted to the peculiar conditions of Ameri- 

 can country life. 



•I Although the exteriors of some of the houses shown 

 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 the people of wealth, and no better way can 

 be obtained of learning how the favored few live. 



fl The building of the great homes of America has 



necessarily involved the development of their sur- 

 rounding grounds and gardens; the work of the landscape gardener has rivaled, in its dignity and spacious beauty, that of the archi- 

 tect. If but little is known of our great estates, still less is known of their gardens, of which, in spite of the comparatively short period 

 that has been given for their growth, we have some very noble instances among us, which are illustrated and described in the present 

 volume, fl This work is printed on heavy plate paper and contains 340 pages 10/^x13/^ inches, enriched with 275 illustrations, 

 of which eight are in duotone. It is handsomely bound in green cloth, and stamped in black and gold, and, in addition to being 

 the standard work on notable houses and gardens in America, unquestionably forms a most attractive gift book.
