The interest mid love manifested by ail classes for 
tasteful homes in the country may bo regarded as one of 
the happy results of our united American civilization, 
and it is a cause of sincere thanksgiving that a policy of 
government, so wise and liberal in its principles, lias 
been maintained, in whose bounteous soil the sentiment 
for home beauty has been propagated, and become so 
universal among all classes of our fellow-countrymen. 
It is to contribute something toward the practical shap¬ 
ing of this interest that the author supplies the public 
with the hints and suggestions found in this work, as to 
tlie general principles of house building, style, cost, 
location, and modes of building; and lie believes his 
labors will not be in vain.
