These four notable volumes form together an unequalled 
pictorial survey of the domestic architecture of England 
of every style and period. They are, moreover, a treasury, 
not only of the life stories of the notable men and 
women who have lived in our historic homes, but of 
those county and village traditions which throw so 
much light on the larger issues that have made the 
history of the nation. 
“ A veritable revelation of the wealth of internal adornments, 
architectural and other, contained in the great country mansions of 
England. To turn over the pages is to obtain keen pleasure, as well 
as enlightenment, concerning a treasury of domestic art and archaeology 
which to a large extent is kept closed from the common eye.” — 
Scotsman.
