HOMES IN CITY AND COUNTRY 



With loo Illustrations, 8vo, $2.00 



A volume made up from the interesting series of 

 articles recently issued in Scribner's Magazine. They are 

 by writers of recognized authority, and are beautifully 

 illustrated. They relate to home winning and to the 

 characteristic features of city, suburban, and country 

 houses, with suggestions as to the most desirable features 

 of each class. Co-operative house-building is also fully 

 explained. The illustrations, which constitute a very 

 valuable feature of the work, consist of one hundred en- 

 gravings of plans for houses, views of the grounds, and 

 drawings of representative city and country houses in many 

 parts of the United States. They represent American 

 architecture from colonial times down to the present.
