THE WORK OF THE BEST ARCHITECTS 
This is not a book of stock plans such as are advertised for sale. Each design is the work of an 
architect of established reputation and the photographs were taken after the houNe was built. Some of 
the contributors bear such well-known names as Cope & Stewardson, Frank Mead, Wilson Eyre, Elmer 
Gray, Charles Barton Keen, William L. Price, Ellicott & Emmart, Frank Miles Day, Grosvenor 
Atterbury, Margaret Greenleaf Willis Polk and W. C. Eagan. 
PRACTICAL CHAPTERS ON HOUSE=BUILDING 
The illustrated chapters of this book contain much valuable information for those about to build, for 
those who desire to alter or improve their homes, and for all to whom an attractive and comfortable house 
and garden at moderate expense is a matter of interest. The reader of this book will be able to talk to 
his architect intelligently on matters of style and design, can better judge the possibilities and value of a 
piece of land, can advise his builder, and can select his furnishings and decorations with more than 
ordinary taste, or use those he has to better advantage. And the delights of a garden, big or little, are 
brought nearer his reach. 
200 INTERESTING PLANS AND PICTURES 
The houses illustrated range in cost from $800 to $6000. Floor plans, plans of houses and their 
gardens, exterior and interior photographs and suggestive views of planted lawns and gardens in all their 
luxuriance make this book a constant delight. Suburban homes on limited ground, seashore and moun¬ 
tain cottages, inviting bungalows and inexpensively remodeled farm-houses are some of the types 
presented in plan and picture, with detailed notes explaining the illustrations. “ COUNTRY HOMES 
AND GARDENS OF MODERATE COST ” contains 200 superb half-tone engravings and line- 
plans, with text and descriptive notes, printed on the finest heavy coated paper, tastefully bound in 
substantial cloth. The book measures 9x12 inches, contains 128 pages and weighs about 2 pounds.

times views with wonder the unfinished 
pillars, either occupying their original 
site in the quarry, or left after having 
performed one-half their journey, while 
he finds other shafts arranged in their 
intended position, and consisting each 
of a single piece of marble, alabaster, 
porphyry, jasper or granite, which is 
either corroded by time or retains its 
polish and its varied and beautiful 
colors, according to the situation in 
which it has been placed, or the dura¬ 
bility of its substance. The mausoleum 
of the Emperor Hadrian—a circular 
building of such dimensions that it 
serves as the fortress of modern Rome—- 
was surrounded by forty-eight lofty and 
most beautiful Corinthian pillars, the 
shaft of each pillar being a single piece 
of marble. 
About the time of Constantine, 
some of these were taken to support 
the interior of a church dedicated to St. 
Paul, which some years ago was des¬ 
troyed by fire. The interest attached 
to the working and erection of these 
noble columns, the undivided shafts of 
which consisted of the most valuable 
and splendid materials, led munifi¬ 
cent individuals to employ their wealth 
in presenting them to public struc¬ 
tures. 
1 bus Croesus contributed the greater 
part of the pillars to the temple at 
Ephesus. In the ruins at Labranda, 
now called Jackly, in Caria, tablets in 
front of the columns record the names 
of the donors .—The Architect. 
AN ELIZABETHAN TOMB 
/\ SUPERBLY rich Elizabethan tomb 
^ is left to us in Boreham Church, 
Essex. This was erected to the memory 
of Thomas Radcliffe, Earl of Sussex, 
Lord Chamberlain, and known as the 
stern opponent of Leicester. Three 
knights in martial costumes lie on the 
tomb slab, one of whom is his son and 
the other his grandson. Walpole inci¬ 
dentally states that the Earl bequeathed 
Ti> 5 00 to be expended on this tomb, and 
that his executors agreed with a Dutch 
sculptor, Richard Stevens, to execute 
his part of the work for £292 12s. 8d. 
I he Earl and his son were first buried 
in the Church of St. Laurence Pountney, 
in the metropolis, and then removed to 
Boreham at the instance of the grand¬ 
son.— Cornhill Magazine.
