MERICAN ESTATES AND GARDENS is a sumptuously 

 illustrated volume in which, for the first time, the subject 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' 

 dally adapted to the peculiar conditions of American country life. 

 (\ 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 

 and are beautifully printed on double coated paper. The book is attract' 

 ively bound. This book will prove one of the ■»«•» tktTvT C C* r\ 

 most valuable books for the home, and will fill imUInI N &" v_^vJ. 

 the wants of those who desire to purchase SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN OFFICE 

 a luxurious book on our American houses. 361 BF\OADWAY NEW YORK
